Dies Iovis 3 Septermber Commands = imperatives

 Notes:

There are 4 groups or families of verbs in Latin. These are called "conjugations."

The "to -form" of a verb [to walk, to love, to sit, to stand, to... ] is called the infinitive form.  It looks like this:

ambulARE     TO WALK

movĒre (e is long).  TO MOVE

surgERE (e is short)    TO RISE, GET UP             NOTE: THESE INFINITIVES ALL                                                                                        END  IN -RE

audIRE    TO HEAR, LISTEN 

To find the stem of a verb, the root element to which different endings are attached, one simply removes the -RE from the infinitive. 

The infinitive helps you determine the conjugation to which a verb belongs. 

1st  conjugation infinitive ends in -ARE         AMBULA

2nd conjugation ends in ERE (e is long)      MOVĒ

3rd conjugation ends in ERE (e is short)       SURGE

4th conjugation ends in IRE                          AUDI

The stem is also the singular command form.  Now watch this video:
