LESSON XXI

FUTURE ACTIVE INDICATIVE OF _AMO:_ AND _MONEO:_

[Special Vocabulary]

NOUNS
sacrum, -i:, n., _sacrifice, offering, rite_
/verbum, -i:\, n., _word_ (verb)

VERBS
sedeo:, -e:re, _sit_ (sediment)
volo:, -a:re, _fly_ (volatile)

ADJECTIVES
/interfectus, -a, -um\, _slain_
/molestus, -a, -um\, _troublesome, annoying_ (molest)
/perpetuus, -a, -um\, _perpetual, continuous_

and followed by the personal ending, as follows:

PRESENT STEM TENSE SIGN PERSONAL ENDING
ama:- bi- s
_love_ _will_ _you_

_138._ The Future Active Indicative is inflected as follows.

CONJUGATION I CONJUGATION II
SINGULAR
1. ama:'bo:, _I shall love_ mone:'bo:, _I shall advise_
2. ama:'bis, _you will love_ mone:'bis, _you will advise_
3. ama:'bit, _he will love_ mone:'bit, _he will advise_

PLURAL
1. ama:'bimus, _we shall love_ mone:'bimus, _we shall advise_
2. ama:'bitis _you will love_ mone:'bitis, _you will advise_
3. ama:'bunt, _they will love_ mone:'bunt, _they will advise_

_a._ The personal endings are as in the present. The ending -bo:
in the first person singular is contracted from -bi-o:. The -bi-
appears as -bu- in the third person plural. Note that the
inflection is like that of /ero:\, the future of /sum\. _Pay
especial attention to the accent._

In a similar manner inflect the verbs given in Sec. 129.
