nonfinite
Nonfinite refers to a verb form that does not indicate tense, mood, or aspect and cannot basically serve as the main verb in an independent clause. It adopts forms such as infinitives (example: to study), gerunds (example: studying), or participles (example: studied). In English, nonfinite verbs cannot be the main verb of a clause as they do not show a distinction in number or person.
