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:

[blocks in formation]

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 :

demned.

2 They would command.
