ABSTRACT
Regular verbs divide into three conjugation classes identified by the infinitive ending: I -áre, II -ere (with stress on the preceding syllable), III -ire. Class I corresponds to the Latin first conjugation ( are), class II to the second and third conjugations ( ére, –ére) and class III to the fourth conjugation ( ire). The normal person inflections are given in Table 3.1. Table 3.2 lists full paradigms for regular verbs of each conjugation (with cantare ‘sing’, timere ‘fear’ and puliré ‘clean’ as representative examples). Person and number inflections
