Answer 2

Let's go through each statement one by one:

1. True. Finite forms of a verb are also called verbals. Finite verbs are those that show tense, mood, and agreement with the subject.

2. False. Verbals do not possess seven categories. Verbals typically refer to non-finite forms of verbs, which include gerunds, infinitives, and participles. These forms have various characteristics but not seven distinct categories.

3. True. The category of aspect shows the opposition of non-continuous (simple) and continuous (progressive) forms of a verb. Aspect is one of the grammatical categories that verbs can have.

4. True. A participle is a verbal that has characteristics of both a verb and a noun. It can be used to form verb tenses or as an adjective modifying a noun.

5. True. Verbals do have the category of voice. Voice indicates whether the subject is the doer of the action (active voice) or the receiver of the action (passive voice).

6. False. A split infinitive is not the infinitive without "to." It occurs when an adverb is placed between "to" and the base form of the infinitive, as in "to boldly go." The split infinitive in this example is "boldly."

7. True. The noun features of the infinitive can be both morphological and syntactical. Infinitives can function as nouns in a sentence and can be modified by adjectives or other nouns.

8. False. The infinitive can take an object in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She wants to eat pizza," "pizza" is the object of the infinitive "to eat."

9. False. In the sentence "Reading foreign newspapers is useful for those who study languages," "Reading" is not a gerund; it is a present participle. Gerunds function as nouns, while participles function as verbs or adjectives.

10. True. Both the verb and the infinitive can have the category of correlation. Correlation refers to the relationship between a verb and its subject, such as whether the subject is singular or plural.
