TEST: Hebdomas XV - Week 15

What have we learned so far about verbs?

They express “persons” or the doer of the verb
They can be singular or plural
Their forms indicate the time (tense) at which an action takes place
They belong to four conjugations (verb groups), which are indicated by the vowel (-a, long-e, short -e and -ire) that comes before the -re of the infinitive
The infinitive is also called the second principal part and gives you the base/stem of the verb when you take off the infinitive ending -are, -ere (long e) – ere (short e) and -ire.
Verbs usually have four principal parts. We have learned the first two: the first person singular of the present tense (dico) and the infinitive (dicere).
The imperative or command form of the verb uses the infinitive, removing the -re of the infinitive. ambula-re: ambula! ambulate!
