II. Abesse, to be absent, and ădesse, to be present, are inflected in the same way with esse. The Present Participle of abesse is absens; praesens is used as the participle of adesse. The Imperative is wanting in both. III. Posse, to be able (põtĭs esse), is thus conjugated : IV. Prodesse, to help (pro esse), is conjugated like sum, inserting d where followed by e: as, prosum, prodes, prodest, prosŭmus, prodestis, prosunt. I. Verbs have four regular Conjugations, distinguished by the connecting vowel of the Present Infinitive: these are1. a: as, voc a re, to call. 2. ē: as, mon ē re, to warn. 3. ě: as, mitt ě re, to send. 4. I as, audire, to hear. II. The Perfect and Supine Stems are regularly formed by adding to the Present Stem, in the several conjugations, (1.) av, at: as, vŏco vocāvi vocātum call. delēvi delētum wipe out. carpsi carptum pluck. vōcāre carpĕre audire audīvi auditum hear. (2.) ēv, (4.) iv, it: as, audio In the second conjugation ev, et, are usually modified into ǎ, It: as, moneo, monere, monui, monitum, warn. III. The stem of the third conjugation usually ends in a consonant; this is combined with s in the same way as in nouns (§ 11, III. 1, 2, 3): as, rego, regère, rexi, rectum, rule. Vowel-stems of the third conjugation end in I or ǎ. In the former, the stem is usually lengthened in the perfect: as, fúgio, fugere, fugi, fugitum, flee. In these verbs the i is dropped when it would be followed by ĕ or I: as, fugis, fugit, fugĕre, fugĕrem; But it is retained before ē: as in fugiēbam; also, fugiet. A stem ending in u (v), is unchanged in the Perfect: as, IV. The perfect stem is often formed by simply lengthen Or by reduplicating the stem-syllable: as, (1.) do, dăre, dědi, dătum, give (compounds usually in the third conjugation: as, addo, addĕre, addīdi, addītum, add.) (2.) mordeo, mordēre, momordi, morsum, bite. (3.) curro, currère, căcurri, cursum, run. Or by analogy of other conjugations: as, |
