In Wheelock I see no explicit examples of deponent verbs that have 3rd conjugation (i.e. long "e" instead of "-bi") future indicative forms. Are all deponent verbs 1st and 2nd conjugation (can't be!)? How can one tell what conjugation a deponent verb is? Here is my guess:
hortor, hortari, hortatus sum = 1st conj.
fateor, fateri, fassus sum, = 2nd conj.
patior, pati, passus sum = 3rd conj.
molior, moliri, molitus sum = 4th conj.
If this is correct, how is the future indicative of patior conjugated: pateor, pateris, patetur, patemur, patemini, patentur? What about "-io" verbs of the third conjugation? I think that I am really only concerned this point with the future indicative, but if there are any other issues this raises please let me know; questions breed questions, lol!
Thanks all,
