(This is the headline.) | | [1] amā- | [2] vidē- | [3] scrīb- | [4] dormī- | esse | posse | īre | |--------|----------|-----------|------------|------------|-------|---------|--------| | 1 sg. | amābō | vidēbō | scrībam | dormiam | erō | poterō | ībō | | 2 sg. | amābis | vidēbis | scrībēs | dormiēs | eris | poteris | ībis | | 3 sg. | amābit | vidēbit | scrībet | dormiet | erit | poterit | ībit | | 1 pl. | amābimus | vidēbimus | scrībēmus | dormiēmus | erimus| poterimus| ībimus| | 2 pl. | amābitis | vidēbitis | scrībētis | dormiētis | eritis| poteritis| ībitis| | 3 pl. | amābunt | vidēbunt | scrībent | dormient | erunt | poterunt| ībunt | Pattern split: [1,2] use **-bō, -bis, -bit, -bimus, -bitis, -bunt**. [3,4] use **-am, -ēs, -et, -ēmus, -ētis, -ent** (1sg in *-am* — easy to confuse with imperf./pres.subj.). 2. **Future indicative passive** — same stems + passive endings. | | [1] | [2] | [3] | [4] | |--------|-----|-----|-----|-----| | 1 sg. | amābor | vidēbor | scrībar | dormiar | | 2 sg. | amāberis | vidēberis | scrībēris | dormiēris | | 3 sg. | amābitur | vidēbitur | scrībētur | dormiētur | | 1 pl. | amābimur | vidēbimur | scrībēmur | dormiēmur | | 2 pl. | amābiminī | vidēbiminī | scrībēminī | dormiēminī | | 3 pl. | amābuntur | vidēbuntur | scrībentur | dormientur | Examples: *Aemilia rūrsus parvulum īnfantem habēbit*; *novus īnfans in cūnīs erit*; *īnfans ā mātre alētur*; *tū et īnfans tuus aequē amābiminī*. 3. ***velle, nōlle*** present indicative (*nōlle* < *ne-velle*). **velle**: *volō, vīs, vult, volumus, vultis, volunt*. **nōlle**: *nōlō, nōn vīs, nōn vult, nōlumus, nōn vultis, nōlunt*. (Future drilled in this chap.: *volam, volēs, volet...*; *nōlam, nōlēs...*.) 4. **Negative imperative** with **nōlī / nōlīte + infinitive**: - *Nōlī abīre!* "Don't go away!" - *Nōlīte mē 'Iūliolam' vocāre!* "Don't call me Juliola!" - *Nōlī ita mē relinquere!* 5. **Deponent verbs introduced** (passive form, active meaning): *colloquī* (talk with), *loquī* (speak), *revertī* (return), *cōnārī* (try), *laetārī* (rejoice), *cōnsōlārī* (console), *sequī* (follow), *proficīscī* (set out). Sample: *Iūlius cum uxōre sermōnem habet → cum uxōre colloquitur*; *crās Rōmam proficīscar*; *quandō revertēris?*; *ego et mamma tē sequēmur*. 6. ***īre*** future paradigm**: *ībō, ībis, ībit, ībimus, ībitis, ībunt*. ***posse*** future**: *poterō, poteris, poterit, poterimus, poteritis, poterunt*. 7. ***domō*** "from home" (review of the locative-set with *domus*; idiomatic: *domī* at home, *domō* from home, *domum* (to) home). ## Common error patterns - **Confusing imperf. and fut.** in conj. [3,4]: imperf. *scrībēbam*, fut. *scrībam*. Watch the *-ēba-*. Likewise *dormiēbam* (imperf.) vs *dormiam* (fut.). - **Future 1sg in [3,4]** is *-am*, looks like an imperf. or subj. ending. Context distinguishes; *scrībam* = "I will write" (here, no perf./subj. yet). - **Wrong ending family for fut.**: student says *dormībō* — should be *dormiam*. The split is [1,2] *-bō* / [3,4] *-am*. - **Future passive 2sg trap**: *amāberis* (with *-be-*, not *-bi-*); but *amābitur* (3sg) keeps *-bi-*. The 2sg *-eris* is the only place the vowel shifts. - ***vīs* vs *vis***: 2sg of *velle* is *vīs* (you want); *vis* (without macron) is the noun "force." Easy to mis-spell. - ***nōlle*** in commands: *Nōlī abīre*, NOT *nōlī abī!* — needs the infinitive. - **Deponent passive form / active sense**: student says *cum uxōre colloquit* — wrong; *colloquī* is deponent → 3sg *colloquitur*. There is no active *colloquit*. - ***revertēris*** etc.: the future of *revertī* is passive-form (*revertar, revertēris, revertētur...*) but means "I will return." - **Forgetting *posse* is irregular**: *poterō*, NOT *possebō*. - **Future of *esse* in compounds**: *aberō, aberis, aberit*; *dēerō, dēerit*; *poterō, poteris, poterit*. Stem is *er-* + endings of [3]. ## Exercise menu (Order roughly easiest → hardest. Open with single-conjugation drills before mixing.) 1. **Future inflection (active, single conjugation)**: "3sg fut. of *amāre*?" → *amābit*. "1pl fut. of *vidēre*?" → *vidēbimus*. "3pl fut. of *scrībere*?" → *scrībent*. "1sg fut. of *dormīre*?" → *dormiam*. 2. **Future of *esse, posse, īre***: "1sg fut. of *esse*?" → *erō*. "3pl fut. of *posse*?" → *poterunt*. "2sg fut. of *īre*?" → *ībis*. 3. **Future passive inflection**: "3sg fut. pass. of *laudāre*?" → *laudābitur*. "2pl fut. pass. of *amāre*?" → *amābiminī*. "1sg fut. pass. of *audīre*?" → *audiar*. 4. **PENSVM A (single-blank ending)**: "Mox novus īnfans in cūnīs er___; Aemilia rūrsus parvulum īnfantem hab___; Iūlius et Aemilia quattuor līberōs hab___." → *erit, habēbit, habēbunt*. 5. **Convert pres. → fut.**: "Iūlius epistulam scrībit → ___" → *Iūlius epistulam scrībet*. "Pueri ā magistrō laudantur → ___" → *Pueri ā magistrō laudābuntur*. 6. ***velle / nōlle* drill**: "1sg pres. of *velle*?" → *volō*. "2pl pres. of *nōlle*?" → *nōn vultis*. "3pl pres. of *velle*?" → *volunt*. 7. **Negative-imperative drill**: "Tell Aemilia not to leave." → *Nōlī abīre, Aemilia!* "Tell the boys not to sleep." → *Nōlīte dormīre, puerī!* 8. **Deponent verb drill**: "3sg pres. of *colloquī*?" → *colloquitur*. "1pl fut. of *sequī*?" → *sequēmur*. "1sg fut. of *proficīscī*?" → *proficīscar*. "2sg fut. of *revertī*?" → *revertēris*. 9. **PENSVM C Q&A**: "Quid faciet Aemilia, sī novum īnfantem habēbit?" → *Aemilia eum ipsa alet et apud eum manēbit.* "Quō Iūlius crās ībit?" → *Iūlius crās Rōmam ībit.* "Cūr Iūlia sorōrem habēre nōn vult?" → *Iūlia putat sorōrem sōlam ā parentibus amātum īrī (or: amārī).* 10. **Spot the error**: "Crās ego in lūdō dormībō." → *dormiam* (fut. of [4] is *-iam*, not *-ībō*). Or: "Pater nōlī ad mē venīre." → *Nōlī venīre, pater!* (negative imperative needs *nōlī* + infin.). 11. **Translate (En → La)**: "I will write to you tomorrow." → *Crās tibi scrībam.* "We will not be able to sleep." → *Dormīre nōn poterimus.* "Don't follow me!" → *Nōlī mē sequī!* ## Session start Bare (`/llpsi-c20`): "Cap. XX — Parentes. Headline: **future tense**, active and passive, all four conjugations + *esse, posse, īre*. Plus *velle / nōlle*, the negative imperative *nōlī(te) + inf.*, and the first batch of deponent verbs (*colloquī, sequī, revertī, proficīscī*).
