Welcome Nabanita

A Transitive Verb is one that takes an Object.
E.g He opened the door. (Door is the object of the action;it is affected by the operation.)

Intransitive Verb is one that does not take an Object.
E.g They arrived. (The verb does not require an object to complete it.)

Finite Verb: The finite form of verb are the forms where the verb shows tense,person or singular/plural.
E.g I go,she goes,he went etc.

Non-finite Verb: The non-finite verb forms have no person,tense or number.
E.g To go,going etc.

The infinite verb, I think, is the basic form of a verb. Usually, there is a 'to' in front. For example,
to go, to run, to begin, etc.
