Finite and Non-finite verbs is the distinction of verbs based on the relation of the verb with the subject or noun.
| Finite Verbs | Non Finite Verbs |
|---|---|
| These verbs change their forms with the change in the noun. | These verbs do not change with change in noun. |
| Finite Verbs are those verbs that have a definite relation with the subject or noun. These verbs are usually the main verb of a clause or sentence and can be changed according to the noun. | These verbs cannot be the main verb of a clause or sentence as they do not talk about the action that is being performed by the subject or noun. They do not indicate any tense, mood or gender. |
| They are used only in present and past tense. They can be indicative of passive or active voice and also of number (singular or plural). | They are used as nouns, adverbs and adjectives. They are also used to form non-finite clauses which are simply dependent clauses that use non-finite verbs. |
| For example: He walks to home . They walk to home . Here , walk changes with the noun . | For example : I am going to school . They are going to school. The form ""'going""' does not changes with the change in noun. |
