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, but the question is what is the form of the verb they are added to?

accept: accipiō, accipere, accēpī, …

close: claudō claudere clausī …

believe: crēdō, crēdere, crēdidī …

owe: dēbeō, dēbēre, dēbuī …

deceive:  fallō, fallere, fefellī …

lead: dūco, dūcere, dūxī, …

find:  inveniō, invenīre, invēnī …

push: premō, premere, pressī …

answer: respondeō, respondēre, respōndī …

mistrust: suspiciō, suspicere, suspexī …

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.
