Deponent Verbs:Overview

Latin, like English, has two verbal voices: Active and Passive.

We have learned that Latin uses two patterns for the formation of Passive Voice verbs, one for the Present System and one for the Perfect System.

2

Deponent Verbs:OverviewPresent System:

Present Stem + Tense Marker + Personal Endings

- r - mur- ris - mini- tur - ntur

Perfect System:Perfect Passive = Perf. Pass. Part. (4th P.P.) + Present of

sum, essePluperfect Passive = Perf. Pass. Part. (4th P.P.) +

Imperfect of sum, esseFuture Perfect Passive = Perf. Pass. Part. (4th P.P.) +

Future of sum, esse

3rd P.P. agrees with subject in G.N.C.

3

Deponent Verbs:OverviewSome verbs in Latin are classified as

Deponent Verbs (from deponere, to put aside).

These are verbs which DO NOT have active forms, but must be translated as active voice.

A Deponent Verb, then, is defined as a verb that is Passive in Form but Active in Meaning.

The Conjugation of Deponent Verbs follows the exact same rules and patterns as the Conjugation of Regular Verbs in the Passive Voice.

4

Deponent Verbs:Overview

NB: Even though a deponent verb looks passive, its subject is the doer of the verbal action. This means that Deponent Verbs can therefore never be put into the passive voice or have a passive meaning.

5

Deponent Verbs:The Principle PartsSince Deponent Verbs have only Passive

Forms, they necessarily have only three Principle Parts (because the 3rd Principle Part of a regular verb is the Perfect Active Stem), and the Principle Parts will all be in Passive Voice form.

Deponent Verbs:The Present SystemThe Conjugation of Deponent Verbs

in the Present System follows the exact same rules and patterns as the Conjugation of Regular Verbs in the Passive Voice:Present Stem + Tense Marker + Personal Endings

- r - mur- ris - mini- tur - ntur

As with Regular Verbs, we must always remember to use the appropriate Tense Markers and Stem Vowels.

I. Deponent Verbs:The Present Tense

The Present Tense is formed by adding the Personal Endings directly onto the Present Stem.

Present Tense = Present Stem (ending in T.V.) + Personal EndingsTense 1st 2nd 3rd 3rd –io 4th Present -a -e -i -i -iNB: – 1st singular ends in –or

1st Conjugation – –a drops out before –o of 1st Sing.

3rd Conjugation – T.V. drops out before –o of 1st Sing.

– T.V. becomes –e in 2nd Sing.– T.V. changes to –u in 3rd Pl.

3rd –io – T.V. does not drop out before –o of 1st Sing.

– T.V. becomes –e in 2nd Sing.– T.V. changes to –iu in 3rd Pl.

4th Conjugation – T.V. changes to –iu in 3rd Pl.

Stem = verē(–Ends in T.V.)

Vere+or = Vereor Vere+mur = Veremur

Vere+ris = Vereris Vere+mini = Veremini

Vere+tur = Veretur Vere+ntur = Verentur

15



NB: – 1st Sing. ends in –or – T.V. becomes –e in 2nd Sing.

– T.V. drops out before –o of 1st Sing.– T.V. changes to –u in 3rd Pl.

Exemplum: sequor, sequī, secūtus sumStem = sequi(–T.V. Changes to –i)

Sequ(i)+or= Sequor Sequi+mur = SequimurSeque+ris = Sequeris Sequi+mini = SequiminiSequi+tur = Sequitur Sequ(i)+ntur= Sequuntur

18

I. Deponent Verbs:The Present Active ParticipleIn Latin, there is no Present Passive

Participle; the only Present Participle that exists is the Present Active Participle.

For this reason, Deponent Verbs form the Present Participle according to the normal pattern for the Present Active Participle of regular verbs.

The Present Active Participle is the only form of a Deponent Verb which will be active in form as well as meaning.

24

II. Deponent Verbs:The Imperfect Tense

The Imperfect Tense is formed by adding the Tense Marker –ba– to the verb stem (after T.V) plus the Personal Endings.

Imperfect = Present Stem (Ending in T.V.) + ba + Personal Endings

(Tense Marker)Tense 1st 2nd 3rd 3rd–io 4th Imperfect -a -e -e -ie -ie

27



Imperfect -a -e -e -ie -ie Exemplum: sequor, sequī, secūtus sum

Stem = seque(–T.V. becomes –e)Seque+ba+r = Sequebar Seque+ba+mur = Sequebamur

Seque+ba+ris = Sequebaris Seque+ba+mini= Sequebamini

Seque+ba+tur= Sequebatur Seque+ba+ntur = Sequebantur

28

Orie+ba+r = Oriebar Orie+ba+mur = OriebamurOrie+ba+ris = Oriebaris Orie+ba+mini= OriebaminiOrie+ba+tur = Oriebatur Orie+ba+ntur = Oriebantur

30

III. Deponent Verbs:The Future TenseThe Future Tense is formed in two different ways, depending on the Conjugation of the verb. Verbs of the 1st and 2nd Conjugation follow one pattern or equation, while verbs of the 3rd and 4th Conjugation follow a second pattern or equation.

1st and 2nd = Present Stem (Ending in T.V.) + bi + Personal Endings

(Tense Marker)

3rd and 4th = Present Stem (T.V. changes to e/ie) + Personal Endings

(e/ie = Future Tense Marker)

31

III. Deponent Verbs:The Future Tense

1st and 2nd = Present Stem (Ending in T.V.) + bi + Personal EndingsTense 1st 2nd 3rd 3rd–io 4th Future -a -e -e -ie -ie

NB: 1st Singular uses –or– -i of Tense Marker drops out in 1st Sing.

– -bi of Tense Marker becomes –be in 2nd Sing.

– -i of Tense Marker becomes –u in 3rd Plural Exemplum: mīror, mīrārī, mīrātus sum

Stem = mirā(–Ends in T.V.)Mira+b(i)+or = Mirabor Mira+bi+mur = MirabimurMira+be+ris = Miraberis Mira+bi+mini = MirabiminiMira+bi+tur = Mirabitur Mira+bu+ntur = Mirabuntur

32


1st and 2nd = Present Stem (Ending in T.V.) + bi + Personal EndingsTense 1st 2nd 3rd 3rd–io 4th Future -a -e -e -ie -ie

NB: 1st Singular uses –o– -i of Tense Marker drops out in 1st Sing.

– -bi of Tense Marker becomes –be in 2nd Sing.

– -i of Tense Marker becomes –u in 3rd Plural

Exemplum: vereor, verērī, veritus sumStem = verē(–Ends in T.V.)

Vere+b(i)+or = Verebor Vere+bi+mur = VerebimurVere+be+ris = VereberisVere+bi+mini = VerebiminiVere+bi+tur = Verebitur Vere+bu+ntur = Verebuntur

33


The 3rd and 4th Conjugations form the Future Tense by changing the vowels at the end of the verb stem.

These vowels themselves act as the Tense Marker that shows us the verb is in the Future. The Personal Endings are then added right onto the stem ending in the modified vowels.

34


Thankfully, the changes to the vowels at the end of the verb stem are very simple: The stem changes its Thematic Vowel in exactly the same way as the stem changes in the Imperfect Tense.


(e/ie = Future Tense Marker)

Tense 1st 2nd 3rd 3rd–io 4th Future -a -e -e -ie -ie

NB: 1st Singular uses –ar; -e of stem drops before –ar

Seque+ris = Sequeris Seque+mini= Sequemini

38

IV. Deponent Verbs:The Perfect SystemAs in the Present System, the

conjugation of Deponent Verbs in the Prefect System follows the exact same rules and patterns as the conjugation of Regular Verbs in the Passive Voice:

Perfect Passive = Perf. Pass. Part. (3rd P.P.) + Present of sum, esse

Pluperfect Passive = Perf. Pass. Part. (3rd P.P.) + Imperfect of sum, esse

Future Perfect Passive = Perf. Pass. Part. (3rd P.P.) + Future of sum, esse

3rd P.P. agrees with subject in G.N.C.

39

Deponent Verbs:The Perfect SystemNB: (1) Since by their definition Deponent

Verbs are Passive in form but Active in meaning, they lack the usual 3rd Principle Part (the Perfect Active Stem).

Instead, the 3rd Principle Part is the Perfect Passive Participle (which gives the Perfect Passive Stem). Sometimes this is listed with “sum”.

40

Deponent Verbs:The Perfect SystemNB:(2) Because Deponent Verbs are

passive only in form but active in meaning, the Perfect Participle of Deponent Verbs (3rd P.P.) must always be translated in active voice.

Deponent Verbs are the ONLY verbs in Latin which have a Perfect ACTIVE Participle.

41

Deponent Verbs:The Perfect SystemThe Perfect Participle Deponent:Exempla:

mīrātus, a, um – “having wondered,” NOT having been wondered

veritus, a, um – “having feared,” NOT “having been feared”

secūtus, a, um – “having followed,” NOT “having been followed”

passus, a, um – “having suffered,” NOT “having been suffered

ortus, a, um – “having arisen,” NOT “having been made to rise”
