Vocabulary 1
NB! Beside each Latin word one or more related English words are sometimes given. It will often be easy to give others. English words, when their relation to Latin is recognized, assume a clear meaning, and we can use them correctly. Some Latin words appear changed, others unchanged in English. If any "related English word" is not familiar, consult a dictionary.

14. Decline all the words from vocabulary 1. Lesson 4 the tenses of the indicative
There are six tenses in the indicative mood:
The present tense indicates an action which is going on now or is habitual, (optat- he desires, he is desiring). NOTE: The Latin form makes no distinction between the simple present tense and the present progressive.
The Imperfect {imperfectum = "not completed") describes an action which was going on or was habitual in the past. The imperfect is in some respects a motion picture of past action, (ortabat - he desired (continually, habitually), he was desiring, he used to desire, he kept on desiring).
The future refers to an action which will occur at some later time. {ortabit - he will desire, he will be desiring). NOTE: Again, the Latin form makes no distinction between the future simple and the future progressive.
The perfect tense (perfectum = "completed") describes one of two types of action: a) one which took place at some poit in the past, (optavit - he desired). NOTE: This aspect of the perfect is most nearly equivalent to the English past tense, b) One which is completed from the point of view of the present, (optavit- he has desired) NOTE: This aspect is most nearly equivalent to the English present perfect.
Pluperfect (Past Perfect) (plus quam perfectum = "more than completed") describes an action which was already completed at some time in the past.(optaverat -he had desired)
The future perfect indicates an action which will be completed before some point of time in the future, (optaverit - he will have desired.
