Lesson 40.3 — Getting Serious About Verbs
There are other sorts of verbs we haven't looked at yet...but a huge number of them are "regular" verbs that end in —ω
(plus, of course, variations of the be-verb).
Try picking the present active indicative verbs out of the verses below, and
then identify the person and number of the verb.
Even if you don't recognize the meaning of the verb, you can figure it out
from its ending. Each verse contains one and only one present active
indicative verb.
