Latin II
Lesson 12: The Imperfect Subjunctive
The Imperfect Subjunctive
• The imperfect tense is the second tense that
we will study using the subjunctive mood. It is
one of four tenses that make up the
subjunctive. It can be active or passive.
• Only the present tense uses the mnemonic
device, “we beat a liar”.
• To form a subjunctive,
imperfect form, find the
second principal part
(whole) and add to the
end m, s, t, mus, tis, nt if
it is active, or r, ris, tur,
mur, mini, ntur. There are
no exceptions to this
rule.

Ancient Capua
The Hazards of Travel: Capua
• Capua hoc tempore urbs amplissima atque pulcherrima erat, maxima
omnium in hāc parte Italiae. In planissimo loco posita, vias latas
optimasque habuit. Ut urbem viderent, Furianus Publiusque unum diem
manere constituerunt. Homo quidam eos videns dixit: “Ut omnia bene
hodie videatis, ducem habere debetis. Ego vobis omnia monstrabo; deinde
vobis optimam cenam dabo; meliorem enim cibum in nullā urbe
invenietis.”
