Which of the following are verbals? Select all that apply.

transitives

participles

gerunds

infinitives

Answer: Participles, gerunds and infinitives are verbals.

Explanation:

Verbals (gerunds, infinitives and participles) function as nouns, adjectives or adverbs and are formed from verbs. For example, gerund is formed when we add - ing ending to a verb, and it usually functions as a noun - 'Reading is my favorite activity.'

A transitive verb is a verb that cannot be used if not followed by an object. Only in this case does a transitive verb make sense. For example, in a sentence: 'Bring me a cup of tea', to bring is a transitive verb.
