  2. Verb Facts: The Most Important Words in Any Sentence • What is a verb? • Denotes an action or a state of being • Essential to the sentence because it’s what is happening! Examples:

  3. Types of Verbs • Helping Verbs: • In English, helping verbs tell when a verb is happening ( was, is, had,have et al.) • Latin never uses helping verbs; we use endings to show when a verb happens • Example • Rex was laughing. Rex ridebat. • Rex will laugh. Rex ridebit.

  4. Types of Verbs • Linking verbs: show a state of being and link two ideas • Acts like a chain or an equals mark (=) • The most common linking verb is sum ,esse, fui, futurus in all its lovely forms • Example • Rex is a boy. (Rex = boy) Rex estpuer

  5. Types of Verbs • Transitive verb: action verb which takes a direct object ( a noun that answers who or what after the verb) • The action transfers to another word • Example • Rex hits Claudius. Rex Claudiumpulsat. • Intransitive verb: action verb that cannot take an object • The action stops at the verb and does not cross over to a noun. • Example • Rex is sleeping. Rex dormit.

  6. Agreement • A singular verb must have a singular subject; a plural verb must have a plural subject. • Compound subjects are usually treated as plural subjects • Examples • The girl is running. Puellacurrit • The girls are running. Puellaecurrunt.

  7. Principal Parts • Most verb have four principal parts, always listed in a specific order. These parts are used to make all the other verb forms. • Notice the patterns • 1st principal part ends with “o” • Used for present tense • 2nd ends with “re” • Present infinitive; used for present, imperfect, future • 3rd end with “I” • Perfect active; used for perfect, pluperfect, future perfect active • 4th ends with “um” or “us” • Perfect participle; used for perfect, pluperfect, future perfect passive

  8. Conjugations • The conjugation of a verb is determined by the second principal part (infinitive) • ARE = 1st • *ERE = 2nd (1st pp. will end with “eo”) • ERE = 3rd • IO, ERE = 3rd IO • IRE = 4th

  9. Qualities of a Verb • Number • Singular or plural • Person • 1st = I, we • 2nd = you • 3rd = he,she, it, they

  10. Qualities of a verb • Voice: active or passive • Refers to relationship between subject and verb • Active voice : subject performs the verb • Aurelia sells the slave. Aurelia venditservum • Passive Voice: The subject does not perform the verb but the verb happens to the subject • The slave is sold by Aurelia.
