Regular Verb Conjugations

Note: All forms listed below are created by attaching the stem from a common regular verb belonging to one of the four conjugations with the correct vowel and ending for that conjugation

EX: The present active infinitive of laudō, a common first conjugation verb, is a com­bination of the stem, laud, the vowel, ā, and the ending -re: laudāre. To conjugate a different regular first conjugation verb, simply replace the stem with the stem of the verb you want to conjugate: portāre

Infinitives

• Not limited by person or number, although they do have tense and voice
• Discussed with participles because they are verbal nouns. Although they are parts of verbs, they function as nouns
  Note: Perfect and future infinitives are rarely translated literally, and are usually part of something else, such as an indirect statement

Third Conjugation Verbs
