Latin/Future Tense Lesson 3
Salvēte omnēs! Welcome back to Latin for Wikiversity. Here you can peruse a new lesson in Latin, in a simple format. If you would like to catch up, you can find a directory of lessons, a classified vocabulary list, and Memrise courses at the links on the right.
This lesson we’ll continue with future tense, with some irregular verbs and deponent verbs. The basic paradigms
- bō, bis, bit, bimus, bitis, bunt
- am, ēs, et, ēmus, ētis, ent
that we’ve studied in the past two lessons take care of the vast majority of (active) future tense forms, but for deponent verbs (verbs with active meaning but passive in form) we will need to be familiar with those forms as well. Basically, we are learning the passive voice forms before studying the passive voice, but you can think of it as saving time later on. Here are some sample conjugations of deponent verbs in future tense:
| Latin | English |
|---|---|
| cōnābor | I will try |
| cōnāberis | You will try |
| cōnābitur | He / she / it will try |
| cōnābimur | We will try |
| cōnābiminī | You (pl) will try |
| cōnābuntur | They will try |
| Latin | English |
|---|---|
| loquar | I will speak |
| loquēris | You will speak |
| loquētur | He / she / it will speak |
| loquēmur | We will speak |
| loquēminī | You (pl) will speak |
| loquentur | They will speak |
