Additional Verb Forms NB! 1. The following patterns all hinge heavily upon the infinitive form (the second principal part, which ends in –re) 2. When a word is presented in three forms separated by commas, these are “principal parts.” They are not options; instead, they are guides we use to make any form of the verb (of which there are hundreds), adjective (of which there are many), or noun (of which there are a healthy number). a. Verbs are presented in their first-person singular present [active indicative] form “I verb, I am verbing, I do verb”; followed by their [present active] infinitive “to verb”; then their first-person singular perfect [active indicative] form “I verbed, I have verbed, I did verb.” b. Adjectives are given in their nominative singular forms: masculine, feminine, and neuter. c. Nouns are presented in their nominative singular and genitive singular forms. 1st conjugation: -are (e.g. colloco, collocare, collocavi) 2nd conjugation: -ēre (e.g. habeo, habēre, habui) 3rd conjugation: -ere (e.g. pono, ponere, posui) *3rd-io conjugation: -io [1st principal part], -ere (e.g. accipio, accipere, accepi) 4th conjugation: -ire (e.g. audio, audire, audivi *The 3rd-io conjugation is a sneaky little bastard. Glancing at his principal parts, we notice that his first principal part looks more like a 4th conjugation verb, while his infinitive (second principal part) looks more like a 3rd conjugation verb. Thus, he occasionally acts more like he’s in the 4th conjugation, and at other times more like he’s in the 3rd conjugation. We just have to watch out for him. Imperatives 1. The positive singular imperative is regularly formed by dropping the –re from the verb’s infinitive, or second principal part. a. Four exceptions are the verbs dico, dicere, dixi; duco, ducere, duxi; facio, facere, feci; and ferro, ferre, tuli; shown here in the positive singular and positive plural: i. dic! dicite! (Say/Speak!) ii. duc! ducite! (Lead!) iii. fac! facite! (Do/Make!) iv. fer! ferte! (Bring!) 2. The positive plural imperative is regularly formed by adding –te to the positive singular imperative (the infinitive less –re). a. In the 3rd conjugation (including the 3rd-io), the final –e is changed to an –i before the –te can be added, as in the following: i. pono, ponere, posui: poneponite! (Put/Place!) 3. The negative singular imperative is a two word expression, which begins with “noli” and is followed by the infinitive (second principal part) of a verb. noli itself is technically an infinitive in its own right, which literally means “be unwilling!” This can help us remember to use the infinitive, as it means “be unwilling to ______!” Remember, however, that although our first goal is literality, our second goal is not to sound awkward, so that we could pluck a student from Mrs. Park’s Calculus class, and she would understand what we were saying. Therefore, it is preferable to translate the negative imperative as “don’t _____!” 4. The negative plural imperative is very similar to the singular, with the only change being that nolite, a plural, precedes the infinitive, rather than noli, the singular.

Present Active Participles (PAPs) The name helps us interpret the PAP: “present” means that the action is happening right now (or at the same time as the main verb in a sentence); “active” means that whatever noun (most commonly a person) is being described by the PAP is performing the action; and “participle” means that it is a verbal adjective, or an adjective built from a verb. a. We translate the PAP as an adjective ending in –ing: I saw the boy running through the field. i. The PAP is one word only: “is running” is present tense, and “are/were running” is the imperfect tense. Both of these are incorrect translations. ii. The PAP is not a noun: “I like running” or “running is good exercise” are incorrect translations. Present active participles are not terribly tricky. For 1st, 2nd, and 3rd conjugation (excluding 3rd-io) verbs, we start with the positive singular imperative (the infinitive minus –re). Adding –ns gives us the nominative singular form in all three genders: a. collocarecolloca+nscollocans, collocans, collocans b. habērehabe+nshabens, habens, habens c. ponerepone+nsponens, ponens, ponens rd 3 -io and 4th conjugation are not too much different. The only trick here is that they (for some reason) get the double-vowel –ie before their –ns. a. accipereaccipie+nsaccipiens, accipiens, accipiens b. audireaudie+nsaudiens, audiens, audiens Present active participles look very similar to 3rd declension adjectives, which in turn look very similar to 3rd declension nouns. The nuances are shown on the next page.

We have two families of adjectives: 1st/2nd declension adjectives, and 3rd declension adjectives. a. 1st/2nd declension adjectives looks EXACTLY LIKE 1st and 2nd declension nouns. Seriously, there are no exceptions. The absence of exceptions is such that it would be silly to include a chart. They are given in the nominative singular form in the masculine, feminine, and neuter forms, e.g. magnus, magna, magnum. b. The 3rd declension adjectives look very similar to 3rd declension nouns, but there are some notable differences; PAPs fall somewhere in the middle of 3rd declension nouns and 3rd declension adjectives, so the differences will be shown. They are given in the nominative singular form in the masculine, feminine, and neuter forms. Remember that the nominative singular form of a 3rd declension noun is unpredictable; so, too, is the nominative singular form of a 3rd declension adjective unpredictable (sometimes all three genders looks the same, sometimes the neuter is the odd one out, and sometimes—albeit rare—all three are different). Occasionally, too, there is a stem-change for declined forms, and we will usually get the genitive form to help with this, e.g. neglegens, neglegens, neglegens, gen. sing: neglegentis. 2. Adjectives modify nouns. They must agree in case, number, and gender. a. There is a bit of a shortcut in some instances. If three factors are true, we can accurately predict the ending for a 1st/2nd declension adjective: i. If the noun is in the 1st OR 2nd declension, and ii. If the noun is of the “expected” gender for its declension (i.e. a 1st declension feminine or a 2nd declension masculine/neuter; not those 1st declension masculine professions like nauta, poeta, agricola, nor those 2nd declension feminine trees like quercus), and iii. If the adjective is of the 1st/2nd declension variety ∴ The noun and adjective will have the same ending, e.g. puella pulchra, servus bonus. b. Rule-breakers vir, faber, puer and the like will muck this up in the nominative singular, but otherwise they play fair. c. This is also usually the case in the 3rd declension, but because the 3rd declension adjective endings and the 3rd declension noun endings are not identical, it’s better to go through the steps of determining case, number, and gender, lest we be led astray. 3rd Declension Noun Endings Singular Plural ??? -es/-a [neuter] Nominative -is -um Genitive -i -ibus Dative -em/???

Notice the three places where there is a departure from the regular 3rd declension noun endings: for the nominative/accusative plural neuters, the ending is –ia, rather than the expected –a; also, the genitive plural becomes –ium, rather than –um. 3rd Declension Adjective Endings Singular Plural ??? -es/-ia [neuter] Nominative -is -ium Genitive -i -ibus Dative -em/??? [neuter] -es/-ia [neuter] Accusative -i -ibus Ablative rd Notice here that there are the same three departures from the 3 declension nouns borne by the PAP as well as an additional one: the ablative singular is –i, like the dative, rather than the expected –e. Demonstratives 1. The word “demonstrative” derives from demonstro, demonstrare, demonstravi (Stage 18), “to show, to point out.” And that is exactly what these do: they “point out” a specific noun. While they can be stand-alone pronouns, we have always seen these as adjectives, and will continue to do so. Unlike other adjectives, which usually follow nouns, demonstratives are almost always placed before nouns. Some of their forms look a little bit like those of 1st/2nd declension adjectives (which are identical to those of 1st and 2nd declension nouns), but they’re often weird. hic, haec, hoc (singular: this; plural: these) Singular Plural hic haec hoc hi hae haec Nominative huius huius huius horum harum horum Genitive huic huic huic his his his Dative hunc hanc hoc hos has haec Accusative hoc hac hoc his his his Ablative ille, illa, illud (singular: that; plural: those) Singular Plural ille illa illud illi illae illa Nominative illius illius illius illorum illarum illorum Genitive illi illi illi illis illis illis Dative illum illam illud illos illas illa Accusative illo illa illo illis illis illis Ablative
