Complete the translations with the Latin verbs listed below. Note that the English translations of the Latin future perfect in the first part of each sentence are deliberately varied. The second part of the sentence is always the future tense.
Before you have a go at this exercise – a type that is common in some Latin textbooks – pause. There is a thought process involved in these. The exercise is looking for two things:
[i] future perfect tense verbs
[ii] future tense verbs
Think analytically …
[1] Which of them end in the future tense of sum, esse?
Those are the future perfect tense verbs. They have a “marker” -er- e.g. -erō,
-eris etc. Throw them into one mental or written “box”
sēderō
sēderis
cēperō
cēperis
dūxerint
etc.
[2] Then look at the personal endings which will tell you
will have performed that action
sēderō │ I shall have …
cēperis │ you (sg.) will have …
necāverit │
he will have …
portāverimus
│ we will have …
portāveritis
│ you (pl.) will have …
dūxerint │ they
will have …
[3] Do the first part of each sentence using the information
you’ve worked out in [1] and [2] above
[4] the other verbs left are in the future tense
necābit
vidēbimus
accidet
etc.
[5] Again, look at the personal endings:
interficiēs │ you (sg.) will …
portābimus │ we will …
etc.
