What is the correct translation of profecti sumus (line 4)?(a) I set out(b) we set out(c) they set outIf you are not confident about the perfect tense of deponent verbs such as proficiscor, see the Cambridge LatinGrammar, page 37, paragraph 2. The perfect participles conatus (having tried), veritus (having feared), etc.join up with the present tense of sum to make conatus sum (I am having tried, i.e. I have tried), veritus sum (Iam having feared, i.e. I have feared), etc.conatus sum, veritus sum, etc. can also be translated without the word “have”, e.g. I tried, I feared, etc. It mayseem odd that the present tense of sum is used to form a past tense; the reason is that the participle next to it(conatus, veritus, etc.) is a perfect participle; the participle is the thing which makes conatus sum, etc. into apast tense.17.
