Conjugation Verbs
The Conjugation of a Verb
• Recall that all verbs belong to a conjugation, or a
family of verbs that follow similar patterns
– declension : noun :: conjugation : verb
• Like a noun’s declension, a verb’s conjugation is fixed
and cannot change
• There are FOUR conjugations (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)
• We have only seen 1st so far
Identifying a Verb’s Conjugation
• To identify a verb’s conjugation, look at the vowel
immediately before the –re in the 2nd PP
• 1st Conjugation Verbs:
– identified by –Ā– before the –re in the 2nd PP
– exceptions: dō, dare; stō, stare
• 2nd Conjugation Verbs:
– identified by –Ē– before the –re in the 2nd PP
2nd Conjugation Morphology
• The 2nd conjugation follows the same exact rules as the 1st
conjugation when generating forms

• PRES. = pres. stem + ō, s, t, mus, tis, nt
• IMPF. = pres. stem + bam, bās, bat, bāmus, bātis, bant
• FUT. = pres. stem + bo, bis, bit, bimus, bitis, bunt
• PERF. = perf. stem + ī, istī, it, imus, istis, ērunt
• PLUPF. = perf. stem + eram, erās, erat, erāmus, erātis, erant
• FUT. PF. = perf. stem + erō, eris, erit, erimus, eritis, erint
