October 27th, 2011 Perfect, Active System of All Five Conjugations; Reflexive Pronouns; Intensive Pronouns
The Perfect System • Present, Future, and Imperfect tenses all referred to as the “Present System” because they are all formed on the present stem (i.e. 1st Principal Part) – Note: 2nd Principal Part = Infinitive. • The Perfect System (i.e. The Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Perfect) all modelled on 3rd Principal Part. • i.e. Laudo, Laudare, Laudavi, Laudatus, a, um. • 3rd and 4th Principal parts are highly varied and must be memorized with the vocabulary.
The Perfect Tenses • Perfect (i.e. Present Perfect) = the simple past (i.e. Caesar conquered Gaul); note the contrast with the Imperfect which connotes ongoing action in the past (i.e. Caesar was conquering Gaul). • Pluperfect (i.e. Past Perfect) refers to an event that has taken place prior to the action of another verb (i.e. When Caesar became dictator he had already conquered Gaul). • Future Perfect refers to an event that will have already occurred relative to another action yet to happen (i.e. When Caesar becomes dictator he will have conquered Gaul).

Reflexive Pronouns • Pronouns which refer back to the subject. • i.e. Cicero praised him (“him” = regular pronoun) BUT Cicero praised himself (“himself” = reflexive pronoun). • Cannot serve as subjects of a finite verbs – therefore n0 nominative case; All first and second person reflexive pronouns decline like regular personal pronouns. • Context needed to discern what type of pronoun you are dealing with. • Cf. Wheelock, p. 83.
Declension of Third Person Reflexive Pronouns • Nom -. • Gen – Sui (of himself, herself, itself) • Dat – Sibi (to/for himself, etc.). • Acc – Se (himself, etc.). • Abl – Se (by/with/from himself, etc.). • Nom -. • Gen – Sui (of themselves). • Dat – Sibi (to/for themselves). • Acc – Se (themselves). • Abl – Se (By/with/from themselves). • Note – Declines identically to 2nd person singular reflexive pronoun; Singular and plural are identical; use context.
Reflexive Possessive Pronouns • Possessive pronouns referring to the subject (i.e. Cicero praises his own students). • 1st (meus, a, um – noster, nostra, nostrum) and 2nd (Tuus, a, um – Vester, Vestra, Vestrum) person decline exactly like regular possessive pronouns. • 3rd person possessive reflexive pronoun (suus, sua, suum) declines like any 1st/2nd declension adjective (i.e. Like magnus, a, um); must agree with the noun modified in gender, number, and case regardless of the gender and number of the subject to which it refers; Be careful to distinguish the use of 3rd person reflexive possessive pronouns from the use of nonreflexive possessive pronouns. • Cf. Wheelock, p. 84.
Intensive PronounIpse, Ipsa, Ipsum • Added to a noun to emphasize its significance in a sentence – Cf. Wheelock, p. 85. • Declines just like Magnus, a, um, except for the genitive and dative singular which follows the regular demonstrative pronouns (hic, Ille etc.) – Cf. Wheelock, p. 448.
