LESSON XXVIII

PRESENT, IMPERFECT, AND FUTURE INDICATIVE PASSIVE
OF _REGO:_ AND _AUDIO:_

[Special Vocabulary]

VERBS
/respondeo:, -e:re\, _respond, reply_
/servo:, -a:re\, _save, preserve_

ADJECTIVE
/ca:rus, -a, -um\, _dear_ (cherish)

CONJUNCTION
/autem\, _but, moreover, now_. Usually stands second, never first

NOUN
/vi:ta, -ae\, f., _life_ (vital)

_169._ Review the present, imperfect, and future indicative active of
/rego\ and /audio\, and learn the passive of the same tenses (Secs. 490,
491).

_a._ Observe that the tense signs of the imperfect and future are
the same as in the active voice, and that the passive personal
endings (Sec. 164) are added instead of the active ones.

_b._ Note the slight irregularity in the second person singular
present of the third conjugation. There the final -e- of the stem
is not changed to -i-, as it is in the active. We therefore have
/re'geris\ or /re'gere\, _not_ /re'giris\, /re'gire\.

_c._ Inflect /ago\, /dico\, /duco\, /munio\, /reperio\, in the
present, imperfect, and future indicative, active and passive.
