Third -iō Conjugation Verbs
• In addition to the regular third conjugation verbs
there is a subclass called third conjugation “-iō”.
• These verbs have an infinitive form that ends in
–ere, but otherwise are more similar to verbs of
the fourth conjugation.
• These verbs always have an “i” that appears
before the “ō” of the first person singular form
and the “-unt” of the third person plural form.
The Third -iō Conjugation
capiō, capere = to capture
Singular
1st Person
capiō
= I capture
2nd Person
capis
3rd Person
capit
Plural
capimus
= we capture
= you capture
capitis

= he / she capture
capiunt
= they capture
Notice that the first person plural, third person singular,
and both second person forms resemble verbs of the
regular third conjugation.
The only differences are the –iō ending of the first
person singular and –iunt of the third person plural.

Fourth Conjugation Verbs
• The fourth conjugation has as its theme vowel
the letter “i”.
• These verbs have “–īre” as their infinitive

singular and the “-unt” of the third person
plural.
