Question

Find the non-finite verb from the sentence:
She has gone out of station for a few days.

• A. has
• B. gone
• C. of
• D. for

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

gone

The verbs that do not explain the tense of the sentence and do not agree with the subject are called non-finite verbs. Non-finite verbs are usually infinitives, gerunds and participles.

Option A - 'Has' explains to us the tense (present perfect tense) of the sentence. It is a finite verb. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option C - 'Of' is a preposition and not a verb. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'For' is a preposition and conjunction, and not a verb. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option B - Though 'gone' is the past participle form of the verb, it is a non-finite verb as it doesn't exhibit the tense of the subject/action of the sentence. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
