Notes: Perfect Tense

·         When determining tense, remember that the ending in the most important part of a Latin word!

o   Perfect Endings

	Singular	Plural
1st Person	-ī	-imus
2nd Person	-istī	-istis
3rd Person	-it	-ērunt

·         The first perfect verbs you learned also had v in the stem.

·         Not all perfect verbs have v…

o    The most common perfect stems end in v, s, u, and x

§  e.g. clamavit, apparuit, dixit, discessit

§  mnemonic = VSUX

o    Many verbs also have a long ē in the stem

§  e.g. fēcit, vēnit

·         Your textbook provides the present and the perfect 3rd person singular forms in the vocabulary sections (checklists & glossary)

o    e.g. cēnat (present): cēnāvit (perfect)

o    prōcēdit: prōcessit

o    terret: terruit

o    intellegit: intellēxit

o    facit: fēcit

Romani Salientes Fabae

• ·         stand up if the verb is perfect, stay seated if it is present or imperfect

o   Perfect verbs:

§  audīvit – v in stem

§  terruit – u in stem

§  cēpērunt – ē in stem, perfect ending -ērunt

§  parāvit – v in stem

§  coxit – x in stem

§  fēcit - ē in stem, perfect ending -it

§  discessit – s in stem, perfect ending –it

·         NB the present form of this verb is discēdit

§  vīdērunt – no stem marker, perfect ending -ērunt

Iterum 12/1

Warm-up

• Textbook p. 112, Exercise B, ODDS only
• Concepts we reviewed in the warm-up:
• dominus vs. dominum
• dominus is in the nominative case
• the nominative case is used for the “doer” of the action (i.e. subject)
• dominum is in the accusative case
• the accusative case is used for the “receiver” of the action (i.e. direct object)
• agricola vs. agricolae & senex vs. senēs
• agricola & senex are both singular
• agricolae & senēs are both plural
• Subjects must agree with verbs in number. (If the verb is singular, the subject must be singular and vice versa.)
• e.g. NOT We is in Latin class.
• the verb in #3, festinaverunt, is plural, so the subject must be plural, agricolae
• the verb in #7 is singular, so the subject must be singular, senex
• Tense:
• All of the verbs in Exercise B are perfect tense.
• excitavit & festinaverunt both have the v in the stem (remember Darth Vader)
• The endings also tell you the tense. Remember the song!

	Singular	Plural
1st person	-ī	-imus
2nd person	-istī	-istis
3rd person	-it	-ērunt

§  fecit, discessit, portaverunt all have perfect endings
