Gerunds, infinitives, and participles are main types of non-finite verbs, that is, they cannot function as the predicate verb in the main clause. 

Gerund: an -ing verb that functions as a noun.

The infinitive: verbs that are preceded by 'to'.

Participles: -ed and -ing verbs that can sometimes function as adjectives

The best way to remember non-finite verbs is to practise as often as you can. 

Happy studying!
