31.01.25: Level 2; the passive voice [29]: the perfect passive [10]; the fourth principal part / perfect passive participle: ways of learning [3]

What do you think the fourth principal part / perfect passive participles of these verbs are? They will all end in –tus or –sus.

accept: accipiō, accipere, accēpī, …

close: claudō claudere clausī …

believe: crēdō, crēdere, crēdidī …

Do you want to know the answers? Well, if you pay me, I’ll tell you. I accept two financial products: credit cards and debit cards. There’s no need to suspect that I won’t give you a response and I won’t invent some excuse for not telling you and there’s no hidden clause. Don’t think I’m giving you false hopes. Look, I really don’t want to press you on this.
