1. Lesson 22 – 3rd conjugation future tense
Review
Until this lesson the future tense has been indicated by the endings bo, bis, bit, bimus, bitis, bunt
However this pattern of endings only holds true for the 1st and 2nd conjugation
The 3rd conjugation, like all others, still uses the present stem i.e. 2nd principal part minus –re (e.g. ama-, doce-, mitt-)

Confusion
Onto the present stem 3rd conjugation verbs use the endings am, es, et, emus, etis, ent to show future action
This can be confusing because these forms can resemble 2nd conjugation present tense
2nd conjugation, present 3rd conjugation, future
doces – you teach mittes – you will send
auget – he increases aget – she will drive
debemus – we ought regemus – we will rule
valetis – you are well ducetis – you will lead
habent – they hold dicent – they will speak
This is why it is imperative that you memorize a verb’s conjugation.
Reminder- the 2nd principal part shows conjugation
are 1st conjugation
ēre 2nd conjugation
ere 3rd conjugation
ire 4th conjugation
