The New Latin Primer.

The Supine in -um is given when either it or the Perf. Pass. Participle is used by a writer of the Classical period. Failing both, the Fut. Participle, if it exists, is given.

It will assist the student in remembering the Supine if he takes notice that English words derived from Latin verbs are mostly to be referred to this part.

When the Verb is subject to any change in composition, one example at least of a compound is given.

Forms printed in italics are very rare.
