A primary source gives you direct access to the subject of your research. Secondary sources provide second-hand information and commentary from other researchers. Examples include journal articles, reviews, and academic books. A secondary source describes, interprets, or synthesizes primary sources.

At the end of chapter 10 how does Huck decide he will get information from town
inn [45]

Answer: Huck wonders about the dead man, but Jim warns that it’s bad luck to think about such things. Huck has already incurred bad luck, according to Jim, by finding and handling a snake’s shed skin. Sure enough, bad luck comes: as a joke, Huck puts a dead rattlesnake near Jim’s sleeping place, and its mate comes and bites Jim. Jim’s leg swells but gets better after several days. A while later, Huck decides to go ashore to get information. Jim agrees, but has Huck disguise himself as a girl, using one of the dresses they took from the houseboat. Huck practices his girl impersonation and then sets out for the Illinois shore. In a formerly abandoned shack, he finds a woman who looks about forty years old and appears to be a newcomer to the town. Huck is relieved because, as a newcomer, the woman will not be able to recognize him. Still, he resolves to remember that he is pretending to be a girl.

Identify the non-finite verb forms in this sentence: 1. She was looking for her sister.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Looking (#1)

Explanation:

Non-finite Verb

  • Non-finite verbs function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs or combine with a finite verb for verb tense.
  • Non-finite verbs Include participles, Infinitives, gerunds, other verbs that don't change form when the subject changes.

Participle

  • A verbal that is used as an adjective, describes a noun or pronoun, present participles always end in -ing, past participles usually end in -ed.

Gerund

  • verb form acting as a noun - always ends in -ing.

Infinitive

  • a verb form that is used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb and is typically preceded by the word to.

Continuation:

Word: She (Pronoun)

  • She is a pronoun. It's a noun that refers to another noun or noun phrase anaphorically, although it can't be preceded by a determiner and seldom accepts an attributive adjective. In English, examples are I, you, he, who, me, mine, and so on. It can also be used as a subjective or nominative pronoun. It is most commonly used to begin a statement. It is, however, rarely used as a noun.

Word: Was (Linking Verb)

  • The word "was" is a verb, more precisely a linking verb, since it connects the subject to the section of the sentence that offers further information about the topic. Furthermore, this form of the verb "to be" represents a state of being.

Word: Looking (Present Participle)

  • Looking is the present participle of look. A participle is a verb that ends in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) and serves as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase is made up of a participle and one or more modifiers, objects, and/or complements (s).

Word: For (Preposition)

  • When used to signify the usage of something, the place where an object or person is going, or the period of time, the word "for" is defined as a preposition.

Word: Her (Pronoun)

  • Her is a pronoun in the third person singular. Her is the subject or object of a verb or a preposition. Her is a possessive determiner as well. You refer to a lady, a girl, or a feminine animal with her.

Word: Sister (Noun)

  • This word is referring to someone's/something's female sibling. This word is a noun because a word that is a person, place, or thing is classified as this part of speech. The noun sister can be used as either a proper or common noun.
  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. After looking through this sentence, we can come to one conclusion. Since looking ends in -ing, it is classified as a gerund. Therefore, the word <u><em>looking</em></u> is a non-finite verb.
  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the other words in the sentence are not considered or classified as non-finite verb as their word classifications do not match those of the description/definition given of what a non-finite verb is.

  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

She was <u>looking</u> for her sister.

  • NOTE:  Verbs with tense are finite, and verbs without tense are nonfinite.
