EXERCISES

Exercise A

There are three Participles besides Gerundives : —

  1. Present Active, formed by adding — (I.) -ans, (II., III.) -ens, (IV.) -iens, to the root of the Present Indicative.
  2. Future Active, formed by changing the final -m of the Supine into -rus.
  3. Perfect Passive, formed by changing the final -m of the Supine into -s.

Obs. — A Participle, being a kind of Verbal Adjective, must agree with its Substantive in Number, Gender, and Case ; thus, Regem regentem, Rex recturus, Regina rectura.
