Finite vs. Non-finite Clauses
A finite clause is a clause which has a finite verb.
e.g. He is waiting for the headmaster to come.
The previous above example has a finite verbal group, “is waiting”.
A non-finite clause is a clause which does not have a finite verb.
In the previous example “for the headmaster to come” has a non-finite verb “to come”, but does not have a finite verb.
At least one clause in an English sentence must be finite.
Simple sentences consist of one finite clause.
e.g. He is a student.
Compound and complex sentences consist of two or more clauses with at least one finite clause.
e.g. He is waiting for the headmaster to come.
