DEPONENT AND COMMON VERBS.

A deponent verb is that which, under a passive form, has an active or neuter signification; as, Loquor, I speak; mărior, I die.

A common verb, under a passive form, has either an active or passive signification; as, Criminor, I accuse, or I am accused.

Most deponent verbs of old, were the same with common verbs. They are called Deponent, because they have laid aside the passive sense.

Deponent and common verbs form the participle perfect in the same manner as if they had the active voice; thus, Lætor, lætatus, lætāri, to rejoice; věreor, veritus, věrēri, to fear; fangor, functus, fungi, to discharge an office; potior, põtītus, potīri, to enjoy, to be master of.

The learner should be taught to go through all the parts of deponent and common verbs, by proper examples in the several conjugations; thus, lætor, of the first conjugation, like amor

Indicative Mode.

Present. Lætor, I rejoice; lætāris, vel -āre, thou rejoicest, &c.
Imperfect. Lætabar, I rejoiced, or did rejoice; lætabaris, &c.

Perfect. Lætatus sum vel fui,* I have rejoiced, &c.
Plu-perf. Lætatus eram vel fueram, I had rejoiced, &c.

Future.

Lætabor, I shall or will rejoice; lætabĕris, or -abĕre, &c.
Lætaturus sum, I am about to rejoice, or I am to rejoice, &c
Subjunctive Mode.

Present. Later, I may rejoice; lætēris, or -ēre, &c.
Imperfect. Lætarer, I might rejoice; lætārēris, or -rēre, &c.
Perfect. Lætatus sim vel fuerim, I may have rejoiced, &c.
Plu-perf. Lætatus essem vel fuissem, I might have rejoiced, &c.

H

The irregular verbs are commonly reckoned eight: sum, eo, queo, võlo, nõlo, mālo, fero, and fio, with their compounds.

But properly there are only six: nolo and malo being compounds of volo.

SUM has already been conjugated. After the same manner are formed its compounds, ad-, ab-, de-, inter-, præ-, ob-, sub-, super-sum, and in-sum, which wants the preterite; thus, adsum, adfui, adesse, &c.

PROSUM, to do good, has a d where sum begins with e; as,

prod-est ;

prod-erat ;

prod-esset;

pro-sùmus, &c.
prod-eramus, &c.
prod-esse-
e-&c.

Infinit. Pres. Prod-esse.
Pro-fui, -fueram, &c.

mus.

and sum; and is thus conjugated :

[blocks in formation]

The compounds of Eo are conjugated after the same manner; ăd-, ăb-, ex-, ob-, rěd-, sub-, pĕr-, că-, în-, præ-, ante-, prod-eo: only in the perfect, and the tenses formed from it, they are usually contracted; thus, adeo, adii, seldom adivi, aditum, adire, to go to; perfect, adii, adiisti, or adisti, &c. adieram, adiĕrim, &c. So likewise veneo, venii, to be sold, (compounded of venum and eo.) But ambio,-īvi, -ītum,-īre, to surround, is a regular verb of the fourth conjugation.

Eo, like other neuter verbs, is often rendered in English under a passive form; thus, it, he is going; ivit, he is gone; iverat, he was gone; iverit, he may be gone, or shall be gone. So věnit, he is coming; venit, he is come; venerat, he was come, &c. In the passive voice these verbs, for the most part, are only used impersonally; as, itur ab illo, he is going; ventum est ab illis, they are come. We find some of the compounds of eo, however, used personally; as, pericula adeuntur, are undergone, Cic. Libri Sibyllini inaditi sunt, were looked into, Liv. Flumen pedibus transiri potest, Cæs. Inimicitiæ subeantur, Cic.
