Instructions. 1. If it were required to give the Latin for they will condemn, the first thing to be determined is the mood and tense, the voice, number, and person of the English verb. In the present instance, it is the future tense, indicative mood, third person plural, and the active voice. Next, damno is the first conjugation, and must be treated like amo, the future of which is amabo, and is found by changing the o of the present into abo: thus, the future of damno is damnabo, the third plural of which, according to the model of the inflexion of the persons of this tense in the first conjugation, is damnabunt, which, as the nominative of the pronoun is not expressed in Latin, except for emphasis' sake, is the literal representative of the English expression, they will condemn. 2. They would be given. Here is the passive voice, potential mood, imperfect tense, third plural. Compare the model, amo, which, like do, is the first conjugation, and observe the formation of this part: Inflect darer in the persons, and the third plural will be found darentur. 3. They would have been provoked.-The passive voice, potential mood, pluperfect tense, third plural. Observe the formation of the part in question : 1st Supine. Auditum Incessitum Past Part. auditus incessitus Pluperf. Poten. Pass. auditus essem, vel fuissem incessitus essem, vel fuissem. Inflect the latter according to the model, and the third plural will be incessiti essent, vel fuissent, the part required. By comparing the models of the four conjugations of the active or passive regular verbs, and observing the formation of the several parts, any part required may be found. The following are to be translated into Latin : 1 I might have been con- 2 They would command. 7 I have been taught. 8 To have been condemned. 9 Let us lead. 10 They would have been 11 He might understand. 13 I was giving. 14 He had been condemned. 15 To be given. 16 Lead ye. 17 I would draw up. 18 Let them be commanded. 19 I would be teaching. 20 To have been drawn up. 21 To have been given. 22 To have condemned. 23 I might teach. 24 They would draw up. 25 Let them provoke. 26 We might command. 27 We might have commanded. 28 Let them be commanded. 29 We understand. 30 They teach. 31 Let them provoke. 42 To have been condemned. 43 I am commanded. 44 Let us be drawn up. 45 I am leading. 46 To lead (1st supine). 47 To lead (infinitive). 48 Let us be understood. 49 I was given. 50 They would have drawn up. 51 To have been drawn up. 52 Draw ye up. 53 I would have been led. 54 I did give (imperfect). 55 Be ye condemned. 56 To understand (1st supine). 57 I have been teaching. 58 Ye have been taught. 59 To be teaching. 60 Let them be commanded. 62 To be leading (infinitive).
