This lesson contains 12 verbs and 1 participle.
Deponent verbs challenge the habit of translating every passive-looking form passively. Loquor means speak, sequor follow, and proficīscor set out; the meaning remains active even though many endings resemble passive forms. Learn each entry with its infinitive and perfect expression, including the sum in locūtus sum or profectus sum. Group the movement verbs ēgredior, prōgredior and proficīscor separately from speaking, promising and thinking. Nactus is a participial entry rather than another complete headword paradigm, and its having obtained meaning belongs in that form. Challenge I returns to this vocabulary in weeks 27–29 as translation review approaches the end of the year. Before the last list, recognise a deponent without adding was to every English answer, distinguish going out from advancing, and retain the infinitive construction notes attached to cōnor, arbitror and the other verbs that need them.
Forms in this lesson: deponent verbs (12).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge I, weeks 27, 28 and 29.
No. Loquor is deponent and means I speak. Passive-looking endings do not give this verb a passive meaning.
That is the perfect expression belonging to loquor. Learn both words together so you recognise the completed action without mistranslating its voice.
