Parsie
  • Parsie the Vulture is a mnemonic to help you remember the important things you need to know about every verb you read:
    • Please = Person
    • Never = Number
    • Touch = Tense
      • In Latin: Placeas Noli Tangere

Tenses
  • What English tenses do you know?
  • Latin has 6 tenses!
  • The verbs before Stage 6 are all present tense:
    • audit
    • pingis
    • ago
    • sedet
    • laudat
    • sum, es, est, sunt
·         The verbs in Stage 6 are past tense.
·         But they represent 2 different Latin past tenses.
·         Let’s look at the verbs on pp. 88-89.
o    Can you categorize/differentiate the verbs?
Column A
Column B
ambulabant
latravit
timebat
clamavit
erat
superavit
ambulabat
audivit
vexabat
pulsavit
erant
laudaverunt

o    Can you theorize what the difference in meaning is?

Jargon
·         imperfect tense – used to express an action when it is in the past and it is incomplete, repetitive, or habitual
o    E.g. When I was young, I used to injure my ankles rather frequently.
§  IMPERFECT
o    How can we express continued, past action in English?
§  Was/were verbing
§  Used to verb
