72 PASSIVE INDICATIVE OF REGO AND AUDIO
Aethiopia est terra Africae. Eam terram Cēpheus[1] regēbat. Eī[2] Neptūnus, maximus aquārum deus, erat īrātus et mittit[3] mōnstrum saevum ad Aethiopiam. Ibi mōnstrum nōn sōlum lātīs pulchrīsque Aethiopiae agrīs nocēbat sed etiam domicilia agricolārum delebat, et multōs virōs, fēminās, līberōsque necābat. Populus ex agrīs fugiēbat et oppida mūrīs validīs mūniēbat. Tum Cēpheus magnā trīstitiā commōtus ad Iovis ōrāculum properat et ita dīcit: “Amīcī mēī necantur; agrī meī vāstantur. Audī verba mea, luppiter. Dā miserīs auxilium. Age mōnstrum saevum ex patriā.”
LESSON XXVIII
PRESENT, IMPERFECT, AND FUTURE INDICATIVE PASSIVE OF REGŌ AND AUDIŌ
169. Review the present, imperfect, and future indicative active of regō and audiō, and learn the passive of the same tenses (§§ 490, 491).
- a. Observe that the tense signs of the imperfect and future are the same as in the active voice, and that the passive personal endings (§ 164) are added instead of the active ones.
- b. Note the slight irregularity in the second person singular present of the third conjugation. There the final -e- of the stem is not changed to -i-, as it is in the active. We therefore have re’geris or re'gere, not re'giris, re'gire.
- c. Inflect agō, dicō, dūcō, mūniō, reperiō, in the present, imperfect, and future indicative, active and passive.
