Narrative Text
Snow Maiden
Once upon a time there lived a couple in a village . They had got married for a long time , but so far they did not have a baby yet . Every single minute they prayed to God , begged for a baby , but it never came true .
1 day , they went to snow mountain . They made a girl from snow & they dressed her beautifully . When it got dark , they decided to go home & left the snow girl alone . The following morning , some 1 knocked the door . " Any body home ? ” she said . The old woman inside opened the door & asked , " Who are you ? " The girl said " I ' m Snow Maiden , your daughter " . The old woman was surprised & happy , " Oh , really ? Thanks God ! Come in , please ! " Since that meeting , they lived happily .
Snow Maiden was beautiful , kind , diligent & helpful . Her parents & all of her friends loved her very much . 1 day , Snow Maiden played with her friends . They played fire . At first , Snow Maiden just looked at their play . Suddenly , her friends asked her to jump on the fire . Of course she refused it because 1 thing that made her afraid was the fire . It ' s because Snow Maiden was made of snow , so she should avoid the fire . But her friends kept on forcing her to jump on . Finally , she could not do anything then she did it . She jumped on the fire & she melted . Her friends were so sorry about this , they cried & cried hoping Snow Maiden could live again , but it was useless . Snow Maiden would not be back anymore . Her mother tried to entertain Snow Maiden ' s friends & asked them to make a new Snow Maiden . They went to a snow mountain & started making it . They expected to have the new Snow Maiden . Days passed but their dreams never came true .
Poor them !

Finite Verb
A verb that is inflected for person & for tense according to the rules & categories of the languages in which it occurs .
Every grammatically correct sentence / clause must contain a finite verb ; sentence fragments not containing finite verbs are described as phrases .
Some interjections can play the same role . Even in English , a sentence like Thanks for your help ! has an interjection where it could have a Error ! Hyperlink reference not valid . & a finite verb form ( compare I appreciate your help ! ) .
In English , as in most related languages , only verbs in certain moods are finite . These include :
The indicative mood ( expressing a state of affairs ) ; e . g . , " The bulldozer demolished the restaurant , " " The leaves were yellow & stiff . "
The imperative mood ( giving a command ) .
The subjunctive mood ( expressing something that might / might not be the state of affairs , depending on some other part of the sentence ) ; nearly extinct in English .
A verb is a word that expresses an occurrence , act , / mode of being . Finite verbs , sometimes called main verbs , are limited by time ( see tense ) , person , & number .
The finite verbs are highlighted in the following sentences :
The bear caught a salmon in the stream .
Who ate the pie ?
Stop !
A nonfinite verb form - such as a participle , infinitive , / gerund - is not limited by by time ( see tense ) , person , & number .
Verb forms that are not finite include :
The infinitive
participles ( e . g . , " The broken window . . . " , " The wheezing gentleman . . . " )
gerunds & gerundives
In linguistics , a non - finite verb ( / a verbal ) is a verb form that is not limited by a subject ; & more generally , it is not fully inflected by categories that are marked inflectionally in language , such as tense , aspect , mood , number , gender , & person . As a result , a non - finite verb cannot generally serve as the main verb in an independent clause ; rather , it heads a non - finite clause .
By some accounts , a non - finite verb acts simultaneously as a verb & as another part of speech ; it can take adverbs & certain kinds of verb arguments , producing a verbal phrase ( I . e . , non - finite clause ) , & this phrase then plays a different role — usually noun , adjective , / adverb — in a greater clause . This is the reason for the term verbal ; non - finite verbs have traditionally been classified as verbal nouns , verbal adjectives , / verbal adverbs .
English has 3 kinds of verbals :
Which function as adjectives
Which function as nouns
Infinitives
Which have noun – like , adjective – like , & adverb - like functions .
Each of these is also used in various common constructs ; for example , the past participle is used in forming the perfect aspect ( to have done ) .
Other kinds of verbals , such as supines & gerundives , exist in other languages .
Example :
The finite verbs are the underlined words .
The Crow & the Fox
1 day a crow finds a tasty piece of cheese . She picks it up , flaps her wings , & flies to a high branch of a tree to eat it .
… … … … … .

Bean : Yes , I like them .

Shaggy : Do you like the book I brought yesterday ?
Bean : Yes , I like it . ( Note : ‘ It ’ refers to ‘ the book ’ , not ‘ book ’ )

Example : We just spoke with a young American boy .
Noun phrase can be in form of gerund ( Vbase + ing ) / gerund & other nouns compounding .
Example : passing the exam watching TV
preparing the equipment sliding down a rope
