afternoon (alter as necessary) all,
couldn't help but noticing that posts are created far too rarely here, so i thought i ought create one.
it's brief and perhaps even borders on miniscular, but there is a competitive (that's right episocus/benissimus inter alia) edge to it.
if we take the verb incendo to mean "i burn" (trans.), please could i have FIVE different translations of the grammatical form
INCENDERE
That is, there are five instances in the full conjugation of this verb where incendere is a possible form. hint: the infinitive is one
go to it,
~dave

Hi all,
Keep in mind that if you mark the quantity of the penultimate "e", you distinguish two of the forms (the two alternate ending forms of the future indicative passive and perfect indicative active) from the other three. The five forms really aren't identical, but I can see where there would be a problem if your text does not mark accents.
Best,
Lisa
PS: Always include the mood when you conjugate! what happens is that one becomes so immersed in the indicative at the start, that one thinks of this as the "default" mood. Forgetting to indicate the mood is indicative is a common problem when you conjugate on a quiz or a test. Take it from someone who has graded a few tests.
