Learn Latin - Lesson 3

 

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)
mon
eo - I advise
mon
es - you (s.) advise
mon
et - he/she/it advises
mon
emus - we advise
mon
etis - you (pl.) advise
mon
ent - they advise

Some other verbs of the second conjugation:
habere - hab
eo - to have
iubere - iub
eo - to order, to command
tenere - ten
eo - to hold
videre - vid
eo - to see
frigere - frig
eo - to have cold
