Non-Finite Verbs

• Sejauh ini, kita hanya fokus membahas mengenai
  FINITE clauses yakni klausa-klausa dimana
  Verb-nya mempunyai (melekat) aspek tense.
• Namun, di banyak kasus juga sering ditemukan
  penggunaan Non-FINITE verbs (untensed verbs) yang
  terdapat di klausa-klausa subordinate.

Non-Finite Verbs

• Pada prinsipnya, Non-FINITE verbs adalah verbs
  yang tidak terikat tense dalam konteks ini
  verba-verba tersebut tidak akan berubah walaupun
  terjadi perubahan tenses.
• Bentuk dari Non-FINITE verbs tersebut dapat saja
  berupa
• a. to infinitive
• b. bare infinitive ( infinitive tanpa to-)
• c. ing dan en (Past) paticiples
