Answer 1

Answer: A verbal is a verb form that acts as another part of speech that can act as a noun, an adverb or an adjective.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Verbals are verbs that act as other parts of speech, including nouns, adverbs and adjectives.
• Three types of verbals are gerunds, infinitives and participles.

• A gerund is a verbal that acts as a noun, while an infinitive can act as either a noun, an adjective or an adverb. A participle is a verbal that acts as an adjective.

• Some examples of verbals:

1. Running is my sister's favorite activity. (gerund as a noun)
2. This broken mirror was quite beautiful. (participle as an adjective)
3. To win this match was my only goal. (infinitive as a noun)
