Verbs.-Four Conjugations.—Plural Number.

34. THE Four Conjugations already noticed contain all the regular verbs of the Latin language: hence, 1) In any regular verb, the root is found by dropping the infinitive ending of the conjugation to which it belongs. These endings in the four conjugations are as follows:

a) These endings, it must be observed, differ from each other only in the vowel before rě, which is called the characteristic vowel of the conjugation. The characteristic vowels in the four conjugations are as follows:

REM. These vowels occur so frequently in their respective conjugations, that they are called favorite vowels of the conjugations The third conjugation has also as a favorite vowel, as in the present ending, it; e. g., regit, he rules.

2) In any regular verb, the third persons singular of the present, imperfect, and future tenses of the indicative are formed by adding to the root the endings of the conjugation to which the verb belongs. These endings in the four conjugations are as follows:

35. In any regular verb, the third persons plural, in the tenses already noticed, are formed by simply inserting n before t in the endings of the third singular.

Exc.-If immediately precedes t, it must be changed, in the fourth conjugation, into iu; as, audit, he hears; audiunt, they hear: and in the other conjugations into u; as, ămābīt, he will love; ămābunt, they will love.
