Ergative verbs Verb and its Types

called an ergative verb. In the following examples the verb, ‘Leave’ is an ergative verb.

totally different from the original verb.
Examples:
 She has got a job.

Reflexive Verb
A verb that takes a reflexive pronoun as its object is a reflexive verb.
Examples:
 Be careful, you may cut yourself.
Here ‘yourself’ is a reflexive pronoun and cut is a reflexive verb.

Finite Verbs
A finite verb must have a subject. It is the main verb in an independent clause or a sentence. Finite verbs give
information about gender, person, number, tenses, aspect, mood, and voice.
Examples:
Finite verbs are bold and infinite verbs are in underline form.
 A verb is needed in every sentence.
 I am explaining finite and non-finite verbs.
In English, there can be just one finite verb at the root of each clause; whereas the number of non-finite verbs can reach
up to six or even more.
i.e. He is believed to have been asked to get himself medically checked.

Infinitive/Non-Infinite verb
A non-finite verb is also called an infinite verb. It does not have a subject.it does not express tenses or numbers. It
cannot be the main verb in an independent clause. Unlike a finite verb, it typically works as an infinitive, participles, and a
gerund.
Example:
This particular sentence contains one finite verb underlined and multiple infinite verbs bolded.
 What did Imran want to have done about Hashem?
