Suppose, Rayan knows little about non-finite verbs e.g. Gerund, Participle and Infinitive. His elder sister Ratri shares her knowledge about non-finite verbs. Now write a dialogue among them on the issue.
Ratri : Hey! What are you reading?
Rayhan: I am just trying to figure out which forms of the verb I will use for the following sentences.
Ratri : Okay, what is the solution? How are you trying to do that?
Rayhan: After a long discussion, my friend and I ultimately decided to read aloud the sentences a few times with the different, forms of the verb. And finally, the verb form that sounds okay, will be the correct form for the specific sentence.
Ratri : You are indeed a genius, dear brother! But you know, this technique doesn't work at all, rather it will mislead you. Better read and learn which form of the verb will be used in a specific sentence.
Rayhan: That's too difficult and time consuming, I think.
Ratri : Actually, it's the opposite. As you are trying to tick, for example, which form of the verb would be correct in this sentence, 'Attending/Attend classes is a must to learn better.'? Is it attending or attend?
Rayhan: Exactly, and I can't decide that.
Ratri : That's very obvious because you don't have any idea about Gerund and Participles.
Rayhan: I have heard the terms but don't know much about them.
Ratri : Look, a gerund is a form of a verb with "ing" in its base form. It works like a noun in a sentence. For example- Splashing water is fun. Here, splashing is a gerund because splashing is a form of the verb 'splash' with 'ing'. And it works/acts like a noun in the sentence.
Rayhan: Not at all. I'm enjoying it. Please, go on.
Ratri : That's great! Remember that an infinitive can't be a main verb. For example, 'I want to invite all my friends to my birthday party'. Here, before 'invite', to has been used. It's an example of an infinitive verb. On the other hand, 'Let the new girl introduce herself.' Here, 'introduce' is an example of a bare infinitive. Because you can't say 'Let the new girl to introduce herself. If you use 'to' before 'introduce', it won't be a correct sentence then. So, in this sentence introduce is a bare infinitive verb. Have you got the idea?
Rayhan: Fair enough. Now I feel much more confident in choosing the correct form of verbs, that is, gerund, participle and infinitives in different sentences. Thank you so much, dear sister.
Ratri: It's okay. Always for you.
