Question

use the drop - down menus to identify each underlined verb form as a participle, gerund, or infinitive. climbing a rope is not as difficult as you might think. i plan to compete in a chess tournament this weekend. kali loves the smell of roasting garlic.

Explanation:

A gerund is a verb - ing form that functions as a noun. In "Climbing a rope is not as difficult as you might think", "climbing" is the subject of the sentence, so it is a gerund. An infinitive is formed by "to + verb - base form". In "I plan to compete in a chess tournament this weekend", "to compete" is an infinitive. A participle is a verb form that functions as an adjective. In "Kali loves the smell of roasting garlic", "roasting" describes the garlic, so it is a participle.

Answer:

1. Gerund
2. Infinitive
3. Participle
