Ch 22 PR 4

Post by RubyJewell »

My question is about
tolletur
I translated it as a present passive indicative, but benissimus' answer key seems to indicate it is a future passive indicative. Can anyone explain why this would be?

Hi. tollo belongs to the 3rd conjugation so tollitur is present while tolletur is future. The long e is a sign of the future for this conjugation.
