Forming the Present, Imperfect, and Perfect Tenses in Latin
![Page 2: Forming the Present, Imperfect, and Perfect Tenses in Latin.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082411/56649d935503460f94a7ab20/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Present Tense:
The present tense is formed by connecting the PRESENT TENSE STEM to the PRESENT TENSE VOWEL and then the PRESENT TENSE ENDINGS (specific to each conjugation)
![Page 3: Forming the Present, Imperfect, and Perfect Tenses in Latin.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082411/56649d935503460f94a7ab20/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
First, decide which conjugation your verb belongs to. Remember the
table you memorized:
First Part Second Part
Conjugation
-o -are first-eo -ere second
-o (or –io) -ere third-io -ire fourth
![Page 4: Forming the Present, Imperfect, and Perfect Tenses in Latin.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082411/56649d935503460f94a7ab20/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Then, find the PRESENT TENSE STEM. For most verbs, just remove
the –o from the first part. If the verb is from the second conjugation,
remove the –eo. If the verb ends in –io, remove the –io.
amstupag
adven
oeooio

Once you have the PRESENT TENSE STEM, add the PRESENT TENSE VOWEL . The vowel for each conjugation is in the chart below, which you must memorize.
Conjugation Present Tense Vowel
First aSecond eThird i
Fourth i

Next, add the endings. If the first part of the verb ended in –io, you must keep the “i” in two places: when you add the –o ending and when you add
the -nt ending. Remember that Latin does not like the –int combination at the end of verbs, so it will
become –unt. If the verb ends in -io, it will become –iunt.
-o (I …) -mus (we…)
-s (you….) -tis (you plural….)
-t (she, he, it….s) -nt (they….)

Imperfect Tense:
The imperfect tense is formed by connecting the PRESENT TENSE STEM to the IMPERFECT TENSE VOWEL
and then the IMPERFECT TENSE ENDINGS (specific to each conjugation)

VOWEL . The vowel for each conjugation is in the chart below, which you must
memorize.

Perfect Tense:
The perfect tense is formed by connecting the PERFECT TENSE STEM to the PERFECT TENSE ENDINGS
![Page 13: Forming the Present, Imperfect, and Perfect Tenses in Latin.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082411/56649d935503460f94a7ab20/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Now you need to know the THIRD part of each verb, because that’s the PERFECT
STEM!!! Just take off the –i to find the stem.
amo amare amavstupeo stupere stupu
ago agere egadvenio advenire adven
iiii
![Page 14: Forming the Present, Imperfect, and Perfect Tenses in Latin.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082411/56649d935503460f94a7ab20/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Then add the PERFECT TENSE ENDINGS and you
are done!-i (…ed) -imus (we …ed)
-isti (you …ed) -istis (you plural …ed)
-it (she, he, it …ed) -erunt (they …ed)
![Page 15: Forming the Present, Imperfect, and Perfect Tenses in Latin.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082411/56649d935503460f94a7ab20/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Examplesadveni I arrived advenimus we arrived
advenisti you arrived advenistis you (all) arrived
advenit he, she, it arrived
advenerunt they arrived
egi I drove egimus we drove
egisti you drove egistis you drove
egit he, she, it drove
egerunt they drove

So, you should now be able to identify which tense a verb is in: present,
imperfect or perfect.
amavisti perfect
stupent present
adveniebamus imperfect

After reviewing the tenses presented here, you must take the
multiple choice quiz on X2. This quiz will ask you to identify the
