2. Chapter 3 Future and Imperfect Tenses
I am still happy you are in my class. You are important to me – don’t ever think otherwise!

3. Chapter 3 Tenses and the Present System
Every sentence has a verb. Every verb has a tense. The verb’s tense indicates at what time the action takes place. Latin has six tenses. Chapter 3 will focus on three tenses – the present, future, and imperfect tenses. These three tenses make up what is known as the present system since they all use the present stem.

6. Chapter 3 Tense Marker
Time for some more excitement Latin-style! Now, English often indicates tense by adding a helping verb. present: She is singing. imperfect: She was singing. future: She will sing. Latin is much more efficient and exciting. Instead of using clunky extra words, Latin adds a tense marker between the stem and personal endings. Without further delay…..future tense!....
