_____2.When you are doing the declensions at the end of the worksheet, use the second declension
masculine endings on the adjective if the noun is masculine, the first declension feminine endings if

principal part is an adjective that agrees with the subject in case, number and gender. This means it
will always have a nominative ending.
3
Latin I QA/QC Checklist
_____2.The fourth principal part means “having been verbed.”
_____3.When you add the present tense of sum to it, the verb’s literal meaning is “I am having been
verbed,” “I have been verbed,” or “I was verbed.” Present of sum = PERFECT tense. (amata sum = I
have been loved, I was loved)
_____4.When you add the imperfect of sum, the verb means “I was having been verbed,” or “I had been
verbed.” (amata eram = I had been loved)

have been loved)

Either one can be omitted and have the sentence still make sense.
_____4.The appositive is often set off from the rest of the sentence by commas.
_____5.The noun and appositive will be single words. If you have identified a phrase, select the noun
that best summarizes that phrase. Use this chart to help you:
Noun
Appositive
Case
Use
Nominative
Genitive
Dative
Accusative
Ablative
_____6.Read each sentence with your identified noun omitted. Does it make sense?
_____7.Repeat with the appositives.

_____1.Do you have 10 sentences?
_____2.Did you CAPITALIZE the Latin and English words?
_____3.Did you double check that all of the words were used correctly?
7.05-6
_____1.Third conjugation verbs end in –o, -ere. Both e’s in the second principal part ending are short.
_____2.The short e changes to other vowels in the present tense. If you look at the future tense
endings for Conjugations 1 and 2 and drop the “b” from each one, the remaining vowels are the
vowels and ending for third conjugation, present tense.
_____3.In the imperfect use the stem (the e becomes long, here), and add “ba” and the ending (use “m”
for first person singular. Imperfect sheep still USED TO SAY BA (because perfect sheep say baa…)
_____4.Third conjugation uses the tense indicators “a” and “e” in future tense. Use the “a” for first
person and the “e” for all other forms. So, for future see A or E for Conjugation 3.
_____5.Third conjugation imperatives end in “e” (present stem). In the plural imperative, the e changes
to short I, so the plural imperative ends in “-ite.”
a. Examples: Vince! Vincite! Conquer!
b. Exceptions: There are four singular imperatives that are irregular. (Three of them have
regular plurals.) They are dic, duc, fac, and fer. The plurals are dicite, ducite, facite, and
ferte. (Fero is not a verb in this course, but as long as we’re discussing imperatives, we
might as well talk about the whole story.
There is a rhyme to help you remember these. (Old-timey Latin classrooms used to
march to this)
Dic, duc, fac and fer
Should have an “e” but it’s not there.
_____6.Any time the vowel “I” occurs before “-ris” in the passive, the “I” changes to “e.” Therefore,
duceris (short e) means you are led; duceris (long e) means you will be led.
_____7.The perfect, pluperfect and future perfect tenses are formed on the third and fourth principal
parts, just like first and second conjugation verbs and sum.
_____8.To tell what conjugation a verb is, look at its principal parts.
a. First: -o, -are, -avi, -atus
b. Second: -eo, -ere (first e here is long), _i, ___
c. Third: o, ere, __i, ___
_____9.On 7.06, make sure you mark the appropriate number of answers (one for the conjugation, and
one for the tense).
