12.05.24: review; future tense [4]; the future tense of 3rd, 3-iō and 4th conjugation verbs

The future tense of 1st and 2nd conjugation verbs are easy to spot because they have distinctive markers i.e. -bō / -bi- / -bu-

Images #1 – 3 show you the endings for the 3rd, 3-iō and 4th conjugation

mittō, mitt│ere [3]: send

remove -ere

> mitt-

> add the endings:

mittam: I shall send

mittēs: you (sg.) will send

mittet: he / she / it will send

mittēmus: we will send

mittētis: you (pl.) will send

mittent: they will send

[ii] In the 4th conjugation -re is removed from the infinitive, but the long /ī/ is shortened > /ĭ/:

audī│re: hear

> audī- > audĭ¦-

Then add the same endings:

audiam, audiēs, audiet, audiēmus, audiētis, audient

[iii] 3rd-iō verbs endings are exactly the same as the 4th conjugation:

capiō, capere [3-iō]: take

Remove the infinitive ending in its entirety:

cap¦- > add short /ĭ/: capi-

Then add the endings:

capiam, capiēs, capiet, capiēmus, capiētis, capient

Match the Latin and English verbs:

1. legam

2. fugiēs

3. audiet

4. legēmus

5. scrībētis

6. venient

7. fugiam

8. mittēs

9. audient

10. veniēmus

11. iaciētis

12. iacient

I shall flee; I shall read; she will hear; they will come; they will hear; they will throw; we will come; we will read; you (pl.) will throw; you (sg.) will flee; you (sg.) will write; you (pl.) will write
