Verbs. Yes. THOSE words. They are complex but they do a lot of work communicating the who, how and when of things. In Latin, they come as four groupings called 'conjugations.' The four discussed here are the regular verbs and by far most verbs fall into this. There are a few irregular verbs and they are very limited fortunately. Look at this lesson to learn about verbs as discussed on page 72.
Good. With this completed, let's learn the conjugations with this:

Next, let's learn the present tense on page 73. Frankly, it's very easy. Watch this, comparing the discussion with page 73.

Let's get some practice with this. Do this exercise forming verb endings.
Present Tense
The imperative form of the verb is found on page 74, this is the command form, as in 'sit, stand, quiet.'--all are commands. They are quite simple.

Here is an exercise to learn the Imperatives:
Imperatives
Since we are on the topic of verbs, a little history about verb tenses will help us understand more. Not all languages have the same number of tenses. Russian has three tenses: present, future, past. Chinese has one tense and uses the adverbs yesterday and tomorrow to indicate time change. Romance languages, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, English -- all have six tenses. Watch this to get some understanding of what is going on here.

BIG HINT TIME: we give you PALS tests four times in the course. Positive and Negative imperative commands are on the tests. So try this exercise specific to those commands. Remember, negative commands start with 'noli or nolite' meaning 'do not wish' followed by the infinitive. So 'do not wish to ...' -- constitutes a negative command or imperative.
Positive and Negative Imperatives
There is picture below of a metro station sign in England, it's written in two languages: English and Latin. Notice the negative imperative. What do you think it says? Here also is a link to the British town and why they do this.

Now go to page 71 and translate the story into your notebooks. Number your sentences for reference. Also, before starting to translate, READ the Latin and try to comprehend, not translate, what's going on in the story. Show your translated story to your teacher.
