Non-finite Verb Forms in the English Language: How to Handle the Not So Well-known Verb Types Peter Kaufmann

As a small child I did not really know what I would be in my adulthood. I lived the everyday life of a child, but as far as I remember my keen admiration towards English language started as soon as I had begun learning it. This is what mainly affects my life. As a teacher of English I think it is important to find the right communication channels towards learners. That was the reason why I decided to assemble the most acquirable features of the non-finite verbs in a way I believe everyone can easily understand it. This writing tries to get the reader closer to the verb forms we usually refer to as '-ing' verbs or the verbs with 'to'. Hopefully, after reading this thesis, everyone can decide when and how to use these types of verbs.
