How to Describe a Verb Form

Person: Subject who performs the action of the verb, or has it done it to them in the case of passives verbs

First-person verbs: I or we

Second-person verbs: You (singular or plural)

Third-person verbs: He, she, it, or they

Number: How many subjects there are; can be either singular or plural

Voice: Whether the subject is acting (active) or being acted upon (passive)

Mood: The way the action is stated, or the state of the verb. Latin has the indicative (straightforward and factual), the imperative (for commands), and the subjunctive (reserved for hypothetical or potential actions)

Tense: When the action happens. Latin has present, imperfect, future, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect

Stem: The base verb, or the word’s root

Principal parts: Four forms of the verb which can be used to create all tenses, voices, and moods:

First: First-person singular present

Second: Present infinitive

Third: First-person singular perfect

Fourth: Perfect participle

EX: Laudō, laudāre, laudāvi, laudātus

Note: While these tend to be predictable based on conjugation, there are enough exceptions that students must memorize the principal parts of any verb they wish to conjugate

Nominative: The subject EX: Friends learn Latin together. The word friends is the subject and is nominative plural

Genitive: Usually means of; includes possession EX: The rule of law would have a genitive of law. However, "My friends’
