Understanding Personal Endings in Verb Conjugation

This guide explores the concept of personal endings in Latin verb conjugation, crucial for understanding who performs the action and when it occurs. Just like in English, verbs in Latin convey person (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and number (singular, plural). By applying personal endings to the present stem of a verb, learners can form the present tense. With practical examples like "amare" and its derivatives, this resource encourages practice in identifying and using these verb forms effectively.
