So far we have seen Latin sentences with verbs that look like this: ancilla laborat. The slave girl is working. mercator ambulat. The merchant walks. coquus dormit. The cook is sleeping.
In all of these sentences, the verb ends in -t. This is known as the thirdperson. For example, if I talked in the third person I would say something like- “magistraLuczki typed these notes.” Third person verbs have nominativesubjects. Without a nominative subject, he, she, or it is the subject. This type of subject is “IN” THE PERSON INDICATOR
In this stage we will see verbs with different endings. For example: laboroI work ambuloI walkdormioI sleep laborasyou workambulasyou walk dormisyou sleep
The form of the verb that ends in –o is known is firstperson and is translated as I __blank, I am blank (ing), I do blank. Likewise, verbs that end in –s are secondperson verbs and are translated as: you blank, you are blank (ing), or you do blank.
Stage 4 introduces the pronouns tu(you) and ego (I) before the verb. The Romans only used these pronouns for emphasis of the subject and it is important to realize the person indicators (o/m,s,t, mus,tis, nt) tell you the subject of the verb all on their own.
As in English, the verb to be is also irregular in Latin. We have seen the form est before. sumlaetus. eslaetus. Grumioestlaetus. I am happy.You are happy.Grumio is happy.
