Chapter II: Conjugation

Text size

93. A Verb is a word which asserts something; as, est, _he is_; amat, _he loves_. The Inflection of Verbs is called Conjugation.

94. Verbs have Voice, Mood, Tense, Number, and Person:--

1. Two Voices,--Active and Passive.

2. Three Moods,--Indicative, Subjunctive, Imperative.

3. Six Tenses,--

Present, Perfect,
Imperfect, Pluperfect,
Future, Future
Perfect.

But the Subjunctive lacks the Future and Future Perfect; while the
Imperative employs only the Present and Future.

4. Two Numbers,--Singular and Plural.

5. Three Persons,--First, Second, and Third.

95. These make up the so-called _Finite Verb_. Besides this, we have the following Noun and Adjective Forms:--

1. Noun Forms,--Infinitive, Gerund, and Supine.

2. Adjective Forms,--Participles (including the Gerundive).

96. The Personal Endings of the Verb are,--

Active. Passive.
_Sing_. 1. -ō; -m; -ī (Perf. Ind.); -r.
2. -s; -stī (Perf Ind.); -rīs, -re;
-tō or wanting (Impv.); -re, -tor (Impv.).
3. -t; -tō (Impv.); -tur; -tor (Impv.).
_Plu_. 1. -mus; -mur.
2. -tis; -stis (Perf. Ind.); -minī.
-te, -tōte (Impv.);
3. -nt; -ērunt (Perf Ind.); -ntur; -ntor (Impv.).
-ntō (Impv.);

VERB STEMS.

97. Conjugation consists in appending certain endings to the Stem. We distinguish three different stems in a fully inflected verb,--

I. Present Stem, from which are formed--
1. Present, Imperfect, and Future Indicative,
2. Present and Imperfect Subjunctive,
3. The Imperative,
4. The Present Infinitive,
- (Active and Passive.)
5. The Present Active Participle, the Gerund, and Gerundive.
II. Perfect Stem, from which are formed--
1. Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Perfect Indicative,
2. Perfect and Pluperfect Subjunctive,
3. Perfect Infinitive,
- (Active.)
III. Participial Stem, from which are formed--
1. Perfect Participle,
2. Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Perfect Indicative,
3. Perfect and Pluperfect Subjunctive,
4. Perfect Infinitive,
- (Passive.)

Apparently from the same stem, though really of different origin, are the Supine, the Future Active Participle, the Future Infinitive Active and Passive.

THE FOUR CONJUGATIONS.

98. There are in Latin four regular Conjugations, distinguished from each other by the vowel of the termination of the Present Infinitive Active, as follows:--

INFINITIVE DISTINGUISHING
CONJUGATION. TERMINATION. VOWEL.
I. -āre ā
II. -ēre ē
III. -ĕre ĕ
IV. -īre ī

99. PRINCIPAL PARTS. The Present Indicative, Present Infinitive, Perfect Indicative, and the Perfect Participle[28] constitute the Principal Parts of a Latin verb,--so called because they contain the different stems, from which the full conjugation of the verb may be derived.

PECULIARITIES OF CONJUGATION.

116. 1. Perfects in -āvī, -ēvī, and -īvī, with the forms derived from them, often drop the ve or vi before endings beginning with r or s. So also nōvī (from nōscō) and the compounds of mōvī (from moveō). Thus:--

amāvistī amāstī dēlēvistī dēlēstī
amāvisse amāsse dēlēvisse dēlēsse
amāvērunt amārunt dēlēvērunt dēlērunt
amāverim amārim dēlēverim dēlērim
amāveram amāram dēlēveram dēlēram
amāverō amārō dēlēverō dēlērō
nōvistī nōstī nōverim nōrim
nōvisse nōsse nōveram nōram
audīvistī audīstī audīvisse audīsse

2. In the Gerund and Gerundive of the Third and Fourth Conjugations, the endings -undus, -undī, often occur instead of -endus and -endī, as faciundus, faciundī.

3. Dīcō, dūcō, faciō, form the Imperatives, dīc, dūc, fac. But compounds of faciō form the Imperative in -fice, as cōnfice. Compounds of dīcō, dūcō, accent the ultima; as, ēdū´c, ēdī´c.

4. Archaic and Poetic forms:--

a. The ending -ier in the Present Infinitive Passive; as, amārier,
monērier, dīcier, for amārī, monērī, dīcī.

b. The ending -ībam for -iēbam in Imperfects of the Fourth Conjugation,
and -ībō for -iam in Futures; as, scībam, scībō, for sciēbam, sciam.

c. Instead of the fuller forms, in such words as dīxistī, scrīpsistis,
surrēxisse, we sometimes find dīxtī, scrīpstis, surrēxe, etc.

d. The endings -im, -īs, etc. (for -am, -ās, etc.) occur in a few
Subjunctive forms; as, edim (_eat_), duint, perduint.

5. In the Future Active and Perfect Passive Infinitive, the auxiliary esse is often omitted; as, āctūrum for ācturum esse; ējectus for ējectus esse.

* * * * *

FORMATION OF THE VERB STEMS.

Formation of the Present Stem.

117. Many verbs employ the simple Verb Stem for the Present Stem;[39] as, dīcere, amāre, monēre, audīre. Others modify the Verb Stem to form the Present, as follows:--

1. By appending the vowels, ā, ē, ī; as,--

Present Stem Verb Stem
juvāre, juvā- juv-.
augēre, augē- aug-.
vincīre, vincī- vinc-.

2. By adding i, as capiō, Present Stem capi- (Verb Stem cap-).

3. By the insertion of n (m before labial-mutes) before the final consonant of the Verb Stem; as, fundō (Stem fud-), rumpō (Stem rup-).

4. By appending -n to the Verb Stem; as,--

cern-ō pell-ō (for pel-nō).

5. By appending t to the Verb Stem; as,--

flect-ō.

6. By appending sc to the Verb Stem; as,--

crēsc-ō. scīsc-ō.

7. By Reduplication, that is, by prefixing the initial consonant of the Verb Stem with i; as,--

gi-gn-ō (root gen-), si-st-ō (root sta-).

Formation of the Perfect Stem.

118. The Perfect Stem is formed from the Verb Stem--

1. By adding v (in case of Vowel Stems); as,--

amāv-ī, dēlēv-ī, audīv-ī.

2. By adding u (in case of some Consonant Stems); as,--

strepu-ī, genu-ī, alu-ī.

3. By adding s (in case of most Consonant Stems); as,--

carp-ō, Perfect carps-ī.
scrīb-ō, " scrīps-ī (for scrīb-sī).
rīd-eō, " rīs-ī (for rīd-sī).
sent-iō, " sēns-ī (for sent-sī).
dīc-ō, " dīx-ī (i.e. dīc-sī).

a. Note that before the ending -sī a Dental Mute (t, d) is lost; a
Guttural Mute (c, g) unites with s to form x; while the Labial b is
changed to p.

4. Without addition. Of this formation there are three types:--

a) The Verb Stem is reduplicated by prefixing the initial consonant with
the following vowel or e; as,--

currō, Perfect cu-currī.
poscō, " po-poscī.
pellō, " pe-pulī.

NOTE 1.--Compounds, with the exception of dō, stō, sistō, discō, poscō, omit the reduplication. Thus: com-pulī, but re-poposcī.

NOTE 2.--Verbs beginning with sp or st retain both consonants in the reduplication, but drop s from the stem; as, spondeō, spo-pondī; stō, stetī.

b) The short vowel of the Verb Stem is lengthened; as, legō, lēgī; agō,
ēgī. Note that ă by this process becomes ē.

c) The vowel of the Verb Stem is unchanged; as, vertō, vertī; minuō,
minuī.

Formation of the Participial Stem.

119. The Perfect Passive Participle, from which the Participial Stem is derived by dropping -us, is formed:--

1. By adding -tus (sometimes to the Present Stem, sometimes to the Verb Stem); as,--

amā-re, Participle amā-tus.
dēlē-re, " dēlē-tus,
audī-re, " audī-tus,
leg-ere, " lēc-tus,
scrīb-ere, " scrīp-tus,
sentī-re, " sēn-sus (for sent-tus).
caed-ere, " cae-sus (for caed-tus).

a. Note that g, before t, becomes c (see § 8, 5); b becomes p; while dt
or tt becomes ss, which is then often simplified to s (§ 8, 2).

2. After the analogy of Participles like sēnsus and caesus, where -sus arises by phonetic change, -sus for -tus is added to other Verb Stems; as,--

lāb-ī, Participle lāp-sus.
fīg-ere, " fī-xus.

a. The same consonant changes occur in appending this ending -sus to the
stem as in the case of the Perfect ending -si (see § 118, 3, a).

3. A few Verbs form the Participle in -ĭtus; as,--

domā-re, dom-ĭtus.
monē-re, mon-ĭtus.

4. The Future Active Participle is usually identical in its stem with the Perfect Passive Participle; as, amā-tus, amātūrus; moni-tus, monitūrus. But--

juvā-re, Perf. Partic. jūtus, has Fut. Act. Partic. juvātūrus.[40]
lavā-re, " " lautus, " " " lavātūrus.
par-ere, " " partus, " " " paritūrus.
ru-ere, " " rutus, " " " ruitūrus.
secă-re, " " sectus, " " " secātūrus.
fru-ĭ, " " frūctus, " " " fruitūrus.
mor-ī, " " mortuus, " " " moritūrus.
orī-rī, " " ortus, " " " oritūrus.

IRREGULAR VERBS.

124. A number of Verbs are called Irregular. The most important are sum, dō, edō, ferō, volō, nōlō, mālō, eō, fīō. The peculiarity of these Verbs is that they append the personal endings in many forms directly to the stem, instead of employing a connecting vowel, as fer-s (2d Sing. of fer-ō), instead of fer-i-s. They are but the relics of what was once in Latin a large class of Verbs.

125. The Inflection of sum has already been given. Its various compounds are inflected in the same way. They are--

absum abesse āfuī _am absent_
_Pres. Partic_. absēns (absentis), _absent_.
adsum adesse adfuī _am present_
dēsum deesse dēfuī _am lacking_
insum inesse īnfuī _am in_
intersum interesse interfuī _am among_
praesum praeesse praefuī _am in charge of_
_Pres. Partic_. praesēns (praesentis), _present_
obsum obesse obfuī _hinder_
prōsum prōdesse prōfuī _am of advantage_
subsum subesse subfuī _am underneath_
supersum superesse superfuī _am left_

NOTE.--Prōsum is compounded of prōd (earlier form of prō) and sum; the d disappears before consonants, as prōsumus; but prōdestis.

126. Possum. In its Present System possum is a compound of pot- (for pote, able) and sum; potuī is from an obsolete potēre.
