ABSTRACT
Active,
present: this is given in dictionaries, generally abbreviated, as follows.
obligo, -are, -avi, -atum (1)—to bind, i.e., obligate
teneo, -ere, -ui, tentum (2)—to hold, i.e., tenere
concedo, -ere, -cessi, -cessum (3)—to grant, i.e., concedere
audio, -ire, -ivi, -itum (4)—to hear, i.e., audire
past (or perfect): take the perfect root and add -isse. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> obligav-isse to have bound tenu-isse to have held concess-isse to have granted audiv-isse to have heard
NOTE. Where the perfect root ends in v the perfect infinitive is often shortened, omitting vi: e.g., obligasse, audisse; or v only: e.g., audiisse. The perfect itself isoften similarly shortened: e.g., audii—I heard, petii—I sought, though not in first conjugation.
future: the future participle with esse (present infinitive of verb ‘to be’). https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> obligaturus esse to be about to bind tenturus esse to be about to hold concessurus esse to be about to grant auditurus esse to be about to hear
NOTE. The future participle declines like predictus and agrees with the subject of the verb; for formation, see Chapter 12.
