You forgot to put the e on those words! "nonfinit e " and "finit e " do not describe verbs, but verb forms. The infinitive and the gerund and the past participle are the nonfinite forms of verbs.

"nonfinite" and "finite" do not describe verbs, but verb forms.

The infinitive and the gerund and the past participle are the nonfinite forms of verbs. These are not considered to have tense, i.e., they don't show time relationships.

Infinitive: to take, to like, to see
Gerund: taking, liking, seeing
