Ukrainian's Infinitive is the only common verbal form, and its diyepryslivnyk corresponds to the English Gerund.

English has the Infinitive, Gerund, and Participle, while Ukrainian has only the Infinitive.

The English system includes the unique Gerund form, and the English Participle combines functions corresponding to two Ukrainian non-finite forms (diyeprykmetnyk and diyepryslivnyk).

English non-finite forms only perform the function of secondary predicates, while Ukrainian ones perform the function of simple predicates.
