This document defines and provides examples of different types of verbals: participles, gerunds, and infinitives. Participles can act as adjectives and come in three forms - present, past, and perfect. Gerunds act as nouns and always end in "-ing". Infinitives can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs and generally appear with "to". Examples are given to illustrate how each verbal can be used.
