I hated finite and non-finite verbs/clauses back in college. I found it hard to memorize which were wich :lol:

This is what Wikipedia says about finite verbs, and this is about non-finite verbs.

You're welcome.

Like I said, I never liked that so that made it more difficult to learn. I wouldn't be able to tell you which verbs are finite and which are non-finite right now.

I mean, I always found it very hard to learn, I don't know why... Same as with the diphthong rules in Catalan. I have difficulties with those :roll: It's not that it's difficult, it's that it's difficult for me ...
