FUTURE ACTIVE INDICATIVE
LESSON XXI
FUTURE ACTIVE INDICATIVE OF AMŌ AND MONEŌ
137. The tense sign of the Future Indicative in the first and second conjugations is -bi-. This is joined to the present stem of the verb and followed by the personal ending, as follows:
| Present Stem | Tense Sign | Personal Ending |
| amā- | bi- | s |
| love | will | you |
138. The Future Active Indicative is inflected as follows:
| Conjugation I | Conjugation II | |
| Singular | ||
| 1. | amā´bō, I shall love | monē´bō, I shall advise |
| 2. | amā´bis, you will love | monē´bis, you will advise |
| 3. | amā´bit, he will love | monē´bit, he will advise |
| Plural | ||
| 1. | amā´bimus, we shall love | monē´bimus, we shall advise |
| 2. | amā´bitis will love | monē´bitis, you will advise |
| 3. | amā´bunt, they will love | monē´bunt, they will advise |
a. The personal endings are as in the present. The ending -bō in the first person singular is contracted from -bi-ō. The -bi- appears as -bu- in the third person plural. Note that the inflection is like that of erō, the future of sum. Pay especial attention to the accent.
In a similar manner inflect the verbs given in § 129.
