The Formation of the Future<br />

As you read through these forms, you probably noticed that you’ve met all of these<br />

endings before! That’s really good news! All of the personal endings (and their<br />

connecting vowels) in the Future come straight over from the forms of the Present<br />

Active and Middle/Passive [Indicative] we have already learned. [These endings are<br />

called Primary Endings.]<br />

What this means, of course, is that what distinguishes these Future forms from the<br />

Present forms is that the Future is built from the Second Principal Part (in the Active<br />

and Middle Voices) and the Sixth Principal Part (in the Passive Voice), not from the<br />

First. We now need to understand how these two Principal Parts (second and sixth)<br />

are manufactured from the verb root.<br />

The Formation of the Second Principal<br />

Part<br />

The Second Principal Part is formed from the verb Root, as you certainly should<br />

know by now! But the optional Assembly Lines are fewer than those found in the<br />

First Principal Part Factory.<br />
