LESSON XXVI

VERBS IN -IŌ OF THE THIRD CONJUGATION • THE IMPERATIVE MOOD

. There are a few common verbs ending in -16 which do not belong to the fourth conjugation, as you might infer, but to the third. The fact that they belong to the third conjugation is shown by the ending of the infinitive. (Cf. §126.) Compare

audiō, audī're (hear), fourth conjugation
capiō, ca'pere (take), third conjugation


  1. Remember that quis, who, is singular in number.
  2. Express by ego, because it is emphatic.
