GRAMMAR PORTION 16
About this grammar portion
Infinitives, -ing clauses and participles let verbs appear without independent finite tense. Their form depends on the surrounding word and intended meaning, and their understood subject must stay clear.
Infinitive, ing clause, participle സ്വതന്ത്ര tense ഇല്ലാതെ വരാം. ചുറ്റുമുള്ള verb/preposition-ഉം അർത്ഥവും രൂപം നിർണ്ണയിക്കുന്നു. പ്രവർത്തകൻ ആരെന്ന് വ്യക്തമാക്കണം.
