१ मर्यादित (Finite) व अमर्यादित (Non-Finite) क्रियापदे
१. Finite Verbs (मर्यादित क्रियापदे):
जी क्रियापदे वाक्यातील कर्त्याचा काळ, पुरुष आणि वचन (tense, person and number) यानुसार आपले रूप बदलतात, त्यांना Finite Verbs म्हणतात (इंग्रजीत क्रियापदाचे रूप कर्त्यानुसार बदलताना He plays / She plays असे रूप समान राहते).
• They play cricket. (अनेकवचन वर्तमान)
• He played cricket. (भूतकाळ)
२. Non-Finite Verbs (अमर्यादित क्रियापदे):
जी क्रियापदे कर्त्याचे वचन, पुरुष किंवा काळातील बदलानुसार कधीही बदलत नाहीत (स्थिर राहतात), त्यांना Non-Finite Verbs म्हणतात.
• They like swimming.
• They liked swimming. ('Swimming' चे रूप बदलले नाही).
२ Non-Finite Verbs चे ३ प्रमुख प्रकार: Gerund, Infinitive व Participle
| प्रकार | रचना (Form) | कार्यात्मक स्वरूप (Function) | महत्त्वाची उदाहरणे व नियम |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gerund (धातूसाधित नाम) | Verb + ing | वाक्यात Noun (नामाचे) कार्य करते (Subject किंवा Object म्हणून). | "Swimming is good for health." (Subject) "He loves reading." (Object) |
| Infinitive | To + Verb (V1) | हेतू, उद्देश किंवा इच्छा दर्शवण्यासाठी वापरले जाते. | "He wants to learn English." "To err is human." |
| Bare Infinitive | Only V1 (without 'to') | Make, Let, Bid, See, Hear, Would rather, Had better नंतर येते. | "He made me laugh." (To laugh नाही) "You had better leave now." |
| Present Participle | Verb + ing | वाक्यात विशेषणाचे (Adjective) कार्य करते. | "A rolling stone gathers no moss." (दगडाचे विशेषण) "I saw a burning train." |
| Past Participle | Verb तिसरे रूप (V3) | पूर्ण झालेली क्रिया किंवा स्थितीदर्शक विशेषणाचे कार्य. | "He bought a broken chair." "The injured player was treated." |
MPSC आवडता अपवाद: 'To' नंतर V1 न येता Gerund (V-ing) येणाऱ्या फ्रेजेस:
सामान्यतः 'To' नंतर मूळ रूप (V1) येते. परंतु खालील फ्रेजेसमध्ये 'To' हे Preposition असल्याने यांच्यानंतर नेहमी Verb+ing (Gerund) येतो:
• Accustomed to + V-ing / Used to + V-ing (He is used to working late).
• With a view to + V-ing (He came with a view to helping us).
• Addicted to / Prone to / Devoted to + V-ing (He is addicted to smoking).

Q. 1. Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb:
"I am looking forward to ______ you at the conference."
Detailed Analytical Explanation:
• The phrase 'look forward to' ends with the preposition 'to'. Like all prepositions, it must be followed by a noun or a gerund (V-ing).
• Therefore, 'meeting' is the only correct grammatical form.
Correct Option: (2) meeting.
Q. 2. "The murderer was ______ at dawn." Choose the correct form:
Detailed Analytical Explanation:
• The verb 'Hang' has two different past participle forms depending on the meaning:
१. Hang - Hanged - Hanged: To execute someone by hanging by the neck (फाशी देणे).
२. Hang - Hung - Hung: To suspend an object from above (चित्र, कपडे लटकवणे).
• Since the context is execution of a murderer, 'hanged' is correct.
Correct Option: (1) hanged.
Q. 3. "The manager made the clerk ______ the document."
Detailed Analytical Explanation:
• Causative verbs like 'make' in active voice are followed by a Bare Infinitive (base verb V1 without 'to').
