Happy New Year!
Latin II students have been learning about noun declensions for the latter part of last semester. Now we are back to verbs, but this time irregular verbs. These are verbs which do not follow the standard verb endings we have been learning (-o, -s, -t, -mus, -tis, -nt) although we have noted that there are some hints of the verb endings. Most importantly they need to be memorized. Like regular verbs which carry the root of the verb throughout, irregular verbs do not.
TO BEsum I am
es you are
est he, she, it is
summus we are
estis you are (plural)
sunt they are
TO GO
eo I go
is you go
it he, she, it goes
imus we go
itis you go (plural)
eunt they go
