Hindi Notes Class X English Grammar – Topic 16: Finite and Non-Finite Participles

These Hindi notes aim to clarify the concept of finite and non-finite verbs, particularly participles, in English Grammar for Class X students, created by Artham Resource.

Definitions:

• Finite Verbs: Verbs that show tense and agree with the subject in number and person. They can stand alone as the main verb in a sentence.
• Non-Finite Verbs: Verbs that do not show tense and cannot act as the main verb; they include infinitives, gerunds, and participles.

Participles:

• Present Participles: Formed by adding -ing to the base form of the verb (e.g., running, swimming).
• Past Participles: Usually formed by adding -ed for regular verbs (e.g., walked, jumped), while irregular verbs have unique forms (e.g., eaten, driven).

Usage of Participles:

• As Adjectives: Participles can modify nouns (e.g., the crying baby).
• In Continuous Tenses: Present participles are used in forming continuous tenses (e.g., She is reading).
• In Perfect Tenses: Past participles are used to form perfect tenses (e.g., They have finished).

Importance: Understanding finite and non-finite verbs is crucial for constructing grammatically correct sentences and improving overall writing skills.

These notes by Artham Resource serve as a valuable tool for Class X students to master the topic and enhance their confidence in English grammar.
