Did you know that some verbs do not function as verb at all
They are called verbal, please listen so you can recall
A verbal is a word formed from a verb but function as different part of
a speech
Participles, gerunds, and infinitives are examples of it.
Verbs that functions as adjectives
Are called participles; indeed
In the sentence, "The injured dog was taken to the doctor."
Injured is the participle we’re looking for
The
next verbal is called gerund
It
functions as a noun
"Laughing
is good for your health."
The
word laughing is a gerund, itself
is
formed by adding to before the verb
It
functions as a noun, adjective or adverb
"Lisa
loves to draw a crow"
The
infinitive in the sentence is to draw
