• Write out its present tense chart on your
whiteboard.

-O (I….)
-S (you….)
-T (he/she/it…)
-MUS (we…)
-TIS (y’all)
-NT (they…)
Tricks for Translating!
• First, look at the verb ending and see WHO is
doing the verb (or who is being done
something to…if it’s passive voice).
• Be sure you don’t overlook any letters---for
example, if you see –S, make sure it’s not
really –TIS or –MUS.
Let’s practice translating verbs!
amo
paras
spectat
portant
amamus paratis
spectas paro
laborat
laboramus
parat est
sunt portamus
amatis
parant
laboro
Singular
-O (I….)
-S (you….)
Plural
-MUS (we…)
-TIS (y’all)
-T (he/she/it…)
-NT (they…)
Let’s put it all together!
Subjects can be pronouns from the verb ending:
Aquam portant. They carry water.
Or subjects can be a nominative-ending noun:
Puellae aquam portant.
The girls carry water.
PuellAE=nominative.
Nominative endings=subjects.
Puellae=subject.
The “NT” ending on “portant” stands for “they”, but we can
leave out the “they” in English since “the girls” specifies who
the “they” is. We don’t want to say, “The girls they carry
water.”
