3. Future Tense How do we tell something is going to happen in the future in English? What ‘helping words’ do we use?

4. Future Tense in Latin In Latin, we do not use helping words, but we use an added syllable (can we think of it as a helping syllable – or maybe a tense sign?) to show future tense. We add –bi- to the stem of the word and before the personal word ending. Think of this as standing for the helping words will or shall. Exceptions : 1 st person singular - drop off the ‘i’ and just uses –bo. 3 rd person plural – the ‘i’ becomes a ‘u’, so it will be –bunt.

5. Future Endings - bo-bimus -bis-bitis -bit-bunt
