(Subject – Alex – performed the action in the past. This information is evident only by the verb ‘went’.) Robert plays hockey. He is playing for Australia. He is one of the best players. (Here, the verb ‘is’ directly refers to the subject itself.)

They do not work as verbs in the sentence rather they work as nouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc. Non-finite verbs do not change according to the number/person of the subject because these verbs, also called verbals, do not have any direct relation to the subject. Sometimes they become the subject themselves. The forms of non-finite verbs are – infinitive, gerund, and participle (participles become finite verbs when they take auxiliary verbs.) Example: Alex went abroad to play (Infinitives) Playing cricket is his only job. (Present participle) I have a broken bat. (Past participle) Walking is a good habit. (Gerund)
