Abstract

The use of non-finite words is one of the distinct differences between English and Chinese. How well do the Chinese students master English non-finite verbs? Are there differences between the good learners and poor ones in the mastery of English non-finite verbs? What are the difficulties and reasons affecting college English learners’ acquisition of English non-finite words? Based on a placement test, the paper first analyses learners' mastery conditions of non-finite words. Then with theories of second language acquisition, the paper analyzes the difficulties and reasons affecting students’ English non-finite verbs acquisition. Lastly, the paper gives some suggestions on English teaching and learning.
