  2. How to translate passives:

  3. Passive System • Think of principal parts: • AmoAmareAmaviAmatus, a, um • The first Amo, is present active. • Present, Future and Imperfect are formed from this stem: • am o = amo am a mus=amamus • am a s = amasam a tis = amatis • am a t = amat am a nt= amant

  4. The Imperfect and Future also Form from the 1st Principal Part For example: am a bo am a bor am a bit am a bitur am a bam am a bar am a batis am a bamini

  5. Perfect Passive System • Think of principal parts again: • AmoAmareAmaviAmatus, a, um • The 3rd principal part is the • Perfect Active • The 4th principal part is used to make the • Perfect passive

  6. Perfect Active systemRemember that the active is formed by using the stem of the 3rd Principal part + perfect endings: N.B. Because the 3rd principal part does not follow a set pattern, you MUST learn the 4 principal parts!

  7. Perfect Passive • The Perfect Active involves only one word, AMAVI • The Perfect Passive involves two words, AMATUS SUM • This combines the fourth Principal part with the personal forms of the verb ESSE, to be. • For example: • amavi – I loved amatus* sum – I was loved • The * indicates that the participle is masculine singular. • If the subject were feminine, i.e., a woman, the verb would be amata sum

  8. Some things to remember about Perfect Passive: • The action of the verb is happening to the subject of the verb. • John [the Subject] hit the ball [Direct Object] • The ball was hit by John [the subject] was hit by an agent or • thing • The 4th principal part will reflect the number and gender of the subject: • I [a boy] am loved : amatus • I [a girl] am loved : amata

  9. We [men] loved the gladiators – Gladiatoresamavimus. • We [women] loved the gladiators – Gladiatoresamavimus. But, We [men] were loved by the gladiators = Nosamatisumus a gladiatoribus. And We [women] were loved by the gladiators. Nosamataesumus a gladiatoribus

  10. Practice Create sentences mixing the subject and verbs that follow. Remember to use ablative of means, e.g., gladio ‘with a sword,’ and ablative of agent, e.g., a Marco “by Marcus,’ to make your Sentences:
