The early sections of Carolus et Maria focus on the first and second conjugation verbs. They do, however, gently introduce the other conjugations i.e. the 3rd, 3rd-iō and 4th conjugations. Many examples of the 3rd conjugation are given since it is the most commonly found of these three conjugations, and far more information is given in the links. As with the noun declensions, don’t try to learn everything at once. First of all note:
(1) The personal
endings i.e. who is performing the action is always clear, and
applies to all conjugations of the verbs.
-ō: I
-s: you (singular)
-t: he / she / it
-mus: we
-tis: you (plural)
-nt: they
(2) the verbs are
classified into different conjugations based upon their stem i.e. the
vowel to which the ending is added
