Title: Gerund, Infinitive and Participle Properties in the Kazakh and English Anguages
Abstract: The non-finite form of verbs: Gerund, Infinitive and Participle are the most mysterious phenomenon of grammar with an uncertain status in it. Having forms, meanings and functions which are necessary for naming them as a part of speech, they are not included in it. Having separate verbs and nouns, grammar creates non-finite form of verbs which either duplicate or compensate the missing elements of these both parts of speech, providing verbs with nominal or adjectival functions and noun, adjective with verb properties. The non -finite form of the English language inherited some morphological characteristics of verbs and syntactical characteristics of nouns. It is difficult to identify Gerund, Infinitive and Participle of the Kazakh language (KGIP) as non-finite form of verbs as in the English language, because they conjugate and express Tense category as verbs which are the main reason of not being named as non-finite form of verbs. KGIP has both morphological and syntactical properties of verbs and nouns. If EGIP function as compensating components of the missing elements of verbs and nouns, KGIP function as substitutional or additional elements of verbs and nouns. Namely, they create and enrich language with syntactical transforms in expressing of propositions of sentences.
