Explain the three types of verbals, including their construction and the roles they play in writing.

The three types of verbals are infinitives (to + verb) gerunds (verb+ing) and participles (verb+ed, d, t, en, n / verb+ing)

Infinitives can be used as different parts of the sentence in writing for example:

* Subject

(e. g. To exercise every day is my new year's goal)

* Direct Object

(e. g. I love to listen to music)

* Subject Complement

(e. g. My biggest mistake was to be so stubborn)

* Adjective

(e. g. This is the best time of the year to harvest)

* Adverb

(e. g. I went to mass to pray)

Gerunds can be used as different parts of the sentence in writing for example:

* Subject

(e. g. Exercising every day is my new year's goal)

* Direct Object

(e. g. I love listening to music)

* Subject Complement.

(e. g. My biggest mistake was being so stubborn)

* Object of a preposition.

(e. g. I'm very good at dancing)

Participles can be used as different parts of the sentence in writing for example:

* Adjectives.

(e. g. The movie was amazing / I was amazed by the movie)

* Action verbs when they are used together with to be or to have.

(e. g. I have amazed people all my life)
