Latin Present Subjunctive: ERE VERBS 3rd Conjugation

Learning how to form the Latin Subjunctive tenses is actually very easy. However, learning when to use the Latin Subjunctive can be very tricky. Going step by step and using the same colors used for (ARE-long ERE , ERE and IRE) you will see that by just shuffling a few letters around the formation of the Subjunctive tenses is simple. The colors will remain the same as they were when the verbs were in the Indicative mood.

Change the Indicative Mood:

Drop ere and add an (i) then add personal endings. Change i to u in the 3rd pl.= unt.

Change to the Subjunctive Mood for ERE 3rdConjugation verbs:

To form the present Subjunctive change the (i) to an (a).

It is actually that simple. To make it Passive just change to Passive personal endings.
