Verbs A. Principal parts Most regular verbs have 4 principal parts and you should have a working knowledge of the first three.Principal partExampleUseFirst principal part portō “I carry, do carry, am carrying”First person singular present activeSecond principal part portāre “to carry”Present active infinitive: yields the present active stem used for present and imperfect tenses activeused for imperative active mood identifies the conjugationThird principal part portāvī “I carried, did carry, have carried”First person singular perfect: yields perfect active stem used for perfect active tense The second principal part has several grammatical functions. Its final three letters will determine to which conjugation the verb belongs. First conjugation verbs have infinitives which end in -āre. e.g. laudāre Second conjugation verbs have infinitives which end -ēre. e.g. vidēre Third conjugation verbs have infinitives which end in -ere. e.g. dūcere Fourth conjugation verbs have infinitives which end in -īre. e.g. audīre N.B. Not all verbs are placed into a specific conjugation. Those verbs which are not placed into a specific conjugation are called irregular verbs because their principal parts and/or tense forms do not change in a consistent and predictable manner.e.g. sum, esse, fuī, futūrus adsum, adesse, adfuī, adfutūrus absum, abesse, afuī, afutūrus Answer the following questions about nāvigō, nāvigāre, nāvigāvī, nāvigātus “to sail.” What is the perfect stem? ____________________ What is the first person singular present active? ____________________ What is the first person singular perfect active? ____________________ What is the present active infinitive? ____________________ What is the present stem? ____________________ To which conjugation does this verb belong? ____________________ B.

All clauses must contain their own verb. e.g. Postquam Clēmēns montem Vesuvium vīdit et tremōrēs sensit, ad Caecilium cucurrit. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Caecilius ad vīllam cucurrit et ātrium intrāvit, quod Metellam quaerēbat. ____________________________________________________________________________________ IX.
