Latin Present Subjunctive 4th Conjugation IRE Verbs
© 2011 by Kathleen Canning

4th Conjugation Verbs are nearly identical to 3rd ERE I stems. (No eris)*

Review the steps for the Indicative Mood of the IRE verb (Dormio).

Step 1	Look at the four Principal Parts	dormio - dormire - dormivi - dormitus (a-um)
Step 2	Identify the 2nd Principal Part (infinitive)	dormire
Step 3	Drop the RE	dormi
Step 4	Add the personal endings	o-s-t-mus-tis-nt

Change the Indicative Mood (IRE) to the Subjunctive Mood (IRE) by adding an (a) after the Indicative present stem. (Dormio to Dormiam)

Indicative Present IRE	Subjunctive Present IRE
dormio	dormiam
dormis	dormias
dormit	dormiat
dormimus	dormiamus
dormitis	dormiatis
dormiunt*	dormiant

Just add Passive endings to form both the Present Indicative Passive and the Present Subjunctive Passive.
See the samples on the next page.

To make the verb Passive just substitute Passive personal endings.

Indicative		Subjunctive
io	ior	iam	iar
is	iris*	ias	iaris
it	itur	iat	iatur
imus	imur	iamus	iamur
itis	imini	iatis	iamini
iunt*	iuntur	iant	iantur
