EDUC V I DEFT,
FORMATION OF THE TEXSES.
The tenses are divided into primitive and derivative. The primitive tenses are
those from which the derivative are formed.
There are five primitive tenses, which are: the present of the infinitive, the
present participle., the past participle, the present of the indicative, and the
preterite definite. The present of the infinitive forms two tenses. 1st. The future
by changing r, oir, re into rai, ras, ra, rous, res, ront ; as,par!er, je parlerai;
jinir, tufiniras; recevoir, il recevra ; rendre, nous rendrons, etc. 2d. It forms
the conditional by changing r, oir, re into rais, rais, rait, rions, riez, raieni; as,
etudier, fetudierais ; bcitir, il batiraii ; devoir, vous devriez ; dpprendre, ils
apprendraient.
The present participle forms three tenses. 1st. The three persons plural of the
indicative present, by changing ant into ons, ez, ent; as, parlani, nous parlons,
vous parlez, Us parlent. Except the third person plural of the third conjugation,
where evant is changed into oirent; as, recevant, ils recoivent. 2d. It forms the
imperfect of the indicative, by changing ant into ais, ais, ait, ions, iez, aient; as,
punissant,ye punissais, tupuniesais, etc. Sd. It forms the present of the subjunc-
tive, by changing ant into e, es, e, ions, iez, ent; as, vendant, qiceje rende, que tu
vender, etc. Except the third conjugation, where evant is changed into oive, oives.
oive, oivent.
The past participle forms all the compound tenses by prefixing the auxiliary avoir
or etre; as, j'ai parte; il est alle ; elle a fini ; nous etumsventcs, vous aurez
fini, ils sera lent arrives, etc.
The present of the indicative forms the imperative by suppressing the personal
pronouns, tu, nous, vous, and by dropping the s in the second person singular of the
first conjugation; as, tu paries, parle; nous finissons, finissons ; vous recevez,
receves ; vous vendez, vendee.
The preterite definite forms the imperfect of the subjunctive by adding se to the
second person singular, as: tu parlas, que je parlasse, que tu parlasses, qu'il
Cparldt, que nous parlassions, que rous parlassiez. qu'ils parlassent; tu finis,
que je finisse, que tu finisses, qu'il fi nit, que nous fin issions, qua vous finis*iez,
qu'ils fi dissent ; tu recus, que je recusse, que tu recusses, qu'il rer.ut, que nous
recessions, que vous rer-ussiez, qu'ils reeussent ; tu vendis, que je vendisse, que
tu rendisses, qu'il vendit, que nous vendissions, que vous vendissiez, qu'ils veil'
dissent.

OBSERVATIONS.
A letter, or syllable, such as e, se, le, ve, following an adjective or participle, shows it is
feminine.
The infinitive of the first conjugation always ends in er; the second, in ir; the third, in
oir; and the fourth, in re.
The infinitive only is given, in this dictionary, when the verb is regular.
When a tense of an irregular verb is conjugated like the same tense of the regular conju-
gation to which it belongs, it is omitted in the dictionary. Derivative tenses formed regu-
larly are also omitted.
