Quarter 3, Week 8 - Verbals

 In week 8, we learned about Verbals. A verbal is a term that is formed from a verb and used as a noun or modifier (adjective or adverb) rather than a verb in a phrase. Infinitives, gerunds (also known as -ing forms), and participles are examples of verbals (also known as -ing forms and -en forms). A verbal phrase is made up of a verb, its object, and any modifiers. There are 3 types of verbals. First is Gerunds, which are verbs with the suffix -ing that serve as nouns. The second is Infinitives, which are verbals that serve as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs (typically preceded by the particle to). The third is Participles, – which are adjectives that are formed from verbs. It uses the verb's participle (for example, selected) or its present participle (-ing form like caring). 

I learned that verbal is a verb form that acts as another part of speech in a sentence. A verbal can function as a noun, direct object, subject complement, adjective, adverb, or object of a preposition. It also helps form tenses like the perfect and progressive. There are three types of verbals – gerunds, infinitives, and participles. The highlight of the topic is Verbals.
