In order to study
and remember the different conjugations of the Praesens Activum
well, it is important to take a close look to the differences
between the five conjugations.
SECOND CONJUGATION
The basic vowel in the second conjugation is e, the endings are
-o, -s, -t, -mus, -tis and -nt (-re for the infinitive). Be
careful: in the first singular form the basic vowel doesn't
disappear following the presence of the ending o, which does
happen in the first conjugation. The example verb is monere
(=to advise, to warn), the stem of that verb is mon.
Verbum monere - verb to advise, to warn (stem = mon)
moneo
- I advise
mones
- you (s.) advise
monet
- he/she/it advises
monemus
- we advise
monetis
- you (pl.) advise
monent
- they advise
Some other verbs of the second conjugation:
habere - habeo
- to have
iubere - iubeo
- to order, to command
tenere - teneo
- to hold
videre - video
- to see
frigere - frigeo
- to have cold
