Hаve yоu nоticed... ... thаt the fоurth principаl part often provides us with common English words ending in -ion? audītum, the fourth principal part of the 4th conjugation verb audiō, for example, becomes "audition" in English, while the fourth principal part of agō agere becomes "action". Other forms, while not always recognizable on their own, often become compounds: an "admonition" is a warning (from monitum), while ductum gives us "reduction", "conduction", "induction", "deduction", and so on. This is a great way of learning these forms (and can be useful for guessing a translation when in a tricky spot!). Match the fourth principal part with the following words in English:
The Pluperfect аnd Future Perfect Pаssive In Lаtin, the tense оf the perfect passive is determined by the cоmbinatiоn of the perfect participle and the tense of the auxiliary verb, sum, esse. In a sense, the perfect participle provides a tense "base-line" which is then given further specification by the auxiliary verb. If the auxiliary verb is present tense (e.g. laudātus sum, monitum est), then the entire verb is specified as perfect tense; the present tense auxiliary verb indicates that the tense specified by the perfect participle is not changed. By the same measure, if the auxiliary verb becomes past or future tense, then the overall tense of the verb will change correspondingly. If the auxiliary verb is imperfect, for example -- that is, eram, erās, erat (etc.) -- then the tense of the entire construction is pushed back further into the past; in other words, it becomes pluperfect: laudātae erant: "they had been praised" captum erat: "it had been captured" audītī erāmus: "we had been heard" ācta erās: "you had been led" On the other hand, if the auxiliary verb is future (i.e. erō, eris, erit, etc.), then the construction combines elements of the perfect and future; in other words, it becomes future perfect: monitī erunt: "they will have been warned" āctum erit: "it will have been led" victae eritis: "you will have been defeated" vīsus erō: "I will have been seen" This can be compared to the perfect active system, which similarly adds endings similar to the imperfect of sum, esse to the perfect stem to create pluperfect verbs (e.g. laudāveram, monuerat) and to the future to create future perfect verbs (e.g. audīveris, cēperimus).
