Verbs
Principle Parts
• All regular verbs have 4 principle parts
• Principle parts is just a fancy term for
the 4 forms of the verb given in the
vocab entry
• The principle parts of the verb are the 4
forms that you need in order to create
all the other forms of that verb
• English verbs also have principle parts,
but you don’t learn them that way
What each principle part does:
• 1st = 1st person, singular, present tense
– This is the “I” form of the verb: I walk, I sit, I talk
• 2nd = infinitive
– This is the “to” form of the verb: to walk, to sit
– We use this form to make other forms of the
verb
• 3rd = 1st person, singular, past tense
– This is the “I” form of the verb: I walked, I sat, I
talked
• 4th = perfect passive participle
For Example
• amō, amāre, amavī, amatus
amō = I love
amāre = to love
amavī = I loved (but I’m not now)
amatus = having been loved
Plus Exempla
• laudō, laudāre, laudavī, laudatus
laudō = I praise
laudāre = to praise
laudavī = I praised
laudatus = having been praised
Plus Exempla
• habeō, habēre, habuī, habitus
habeō = I have, hold
habēre = to have, hold
habuī = I had, held
habitus = having been held
Plus Exempla
• videō, vidēre, vidī, visus
videō = I see
vidēre = to see
vidī = I saw
visus = having been seen
Plus Exempla
• vendō, vendere, vendidī, venditus
vendō = I sell
vendere = to sell
vendidī = I sold
venditus = having been sold
How to conjugate verbs
• First: why do we conjugate?
• Verbs conjugate in order to show who is
doing the action, how many people are
doing the action, and when it’s happening
• We’re only going to work with the present
tense for now
How to conjugate verbs
• The first thing that you need are principle parts
• Like: amō, amāre, amavī, amatus
• Then you need some endings
1st Person
2nd Person
3rd Person

t
Plural
mus

How to conjugate verbs
• The first principle part always goes in
the first box
• To form the others
– Go to the 2nd principle part (amare)
– Cut off the “re” at the end
– What’s left is called the stem (ama)
– Add the endings for the chart
– Sing the verb song
How to conjugate verbs
• So amō, amāre, amavī, amatus looks
like this:
Singular
Plural
1st Person
amo
amamus
2nd Person
