What I did for perfect verbs is i did a lesson on perfect verbs to review them then I made a list of pratice verbs and had the people in my group translate them or form phrases into perfect verbs.
You identify perfect verbs by the “v” tense marker Ex. amavistis, ambulaverunt
You translate it just like a past tense verb – “___ed”
Singular Plural i imus isti istis it erunt
Ex. amavit – he/she/it loved ambulavimus – we walked
To form a perfect tense verb: Look at the 3rd principle part in the dictionary entry (perfect stem).Drop the –i in the perfect stem and add the correct ending.
Ex. amo, -are, -avi, -atus: to like, love You loved – amavisti They loved - amaverunt
Dictionary entries for practice:
amo, -are, -avi, -atus: to like, love
ambulo, -are, avi, aturus: to walk
convoco, -are, -avi, -atus: to call together
laboro, -are, -avi, -atus: to work
revoco, -are, -avi, -atus: to recall, call back
vito, -are, -avi, -atus: to avoid
specto, -are, -avi, -atus: to watch, look at
Pratice Verbs List and Answers:
TRANSLATE amavisti – you loved ambulaverunt – they walked spectavi – I saw laboravit – he/she/it worked vitavistis – you all avoided convocavimus – we called together FORM INTO PERFECT VERBS We called back – revocavimus You all called together - convocavitis They avoided – vitaverunt You walked – ambulavisti He/she/it loved – amavit I worked - laboravi
For my lesson, I did much the same thing. A brief background of perfect verbs and then some Latin-to-English and then English-to-Latin translations.
So!
A way to remember that perfect verbs are translated -ed is that if you look at the word "perfect" and sort of... rotate the p around the e, it looks like a d. Therefore, -ed. It works better if you write it on a notecard and then cut off the p and try it.
To form a perfect verb, you look at the third-priciple part in the definition of the verb (amavi, for example), drop the -i, and add on the proper verb ending.
Verb Endings: Single I -> i you -> isti he/she/it -> it Plural we -> imus you all -> isits they -> erunt
(I had a fun-filled/lame way of remembering them, but it's much too difficult to explain via internet. Sorry)
Practice! advenierunt amavisti ambulavi --- I arrived she loved y'all walked
Answers: we arrived you loved I walked --- adveni amavit ambulavistis
Background: What do loved, hated, died, swam, whipped, and ate all have in common? They are all past tense verbs!
Notes/Examples: -The perfect tense of verbs translate in the past tense -i -imus -isti -istis -it -ierunt
Now translate the following Amavi (i loved) Amavimus (we loved) Amavisti(you loved)Amavistis (yall) amavit(he loved)Amavierunt(theyloved)
Creative aspect:Perfect Hot Potato 1.The game organizer throws the ball to one member of the group 2.The organizer then gives a perfect tense verb and asks them to translate it correctly; Or gives them a 3rd principle part and has them form a perfect verb 3.The person getting asked has 7 seconds to answer the question 4.If they answer incorrectly or time runs out they lost a life; total of 3 lives each 5.last person standing wins 50 denarii.
In Period 4: I made flash cards with the english meaning on the back and we went through and had the people give the english meaning. If they got it right they got to give another member of the group a challenge to complete. We went through this a couple times but it went very well.
