What is meant by "peculiars" when referring to verbs?
Trying to help a student and their book refers to verbs "without peculiars" and "with some peculiars".
An example they give for "with some peculiars" is "He can pull the rope".
An example "without peculiars" is "Pulling hard, they moved the ship towards them" or "Pulling ropes is hard work".
Any ideas?

I have never seen "peculiars" used as a noun and have not heard about verbs "with preculiars" or without peculiars." I have checked several sources but haven't seen this used anywhere. Anyone out there who can help? I'm curious!
