  1. Imperatives! Imperatives = commands A specific person being commanded is in the vocative case! English Imperatives: Latin Imperatives: Stop! cede! cedete! Sit down! sede! sedēte! Be Quiet! tace! tacete!

  2. Forming Imperatives in Latin! Singular Imperatives: (commands 1 person) Latin verbs that end in vowels. ex. veni! = COME!!! sede! = SIT DOWN!!! Plural Imperatives:(commands more than 1) Latin verbs that end in –te (add –te to the singular imperative) ex. cedete! = STOP IT!!! sedete! = SIT DOWN!!!

  3. Negative Imperatives in Latin! Singular, Negative Imperatives (command 1 person NOT to do something) noli + infinitive ** ex. Nolicurrere! = Don’t run! Plural, Negative Imperatives (command more than 1 person NOT to do something) nolite + infinitive** ex. Noliteclamare! = Don’t shout! **Infinitive – Latin verb forms that end in –re and are translated “to verb”. e.g. Sedere – to sit

  4. Practice!!! • Identify each as singular or plural and translate. 1. veni! 2. noliteambulare! 3. ridete! 4. noliportare! II. Make each singular imperative plural OR each plural imperative singular. 1. clama! 2. noliteperīre! 3. ridete! 4. nolīportāre! • Translate! 1. dātemihipecunīam! 2. nolitediscedere! 3. nolīme punīre!

  5. Imperatives – Latin 2 ONLY! Singular Imperative Formation: 2nd p.p. – the –re ***SAME form as the PRESENT STEM*** (The singular imperative ends in the VOWEL that identifies the conjugation. See pg. 147 in your text for examples.) Plural Imperative Formation: Present Stem + -te** **3rd conjugation verbs form their PLURAL imperatives with -ite and NOT –ete. E.G. “trahe!” becomes “trahite!”
