Sum: Future and Imperfect Indicatives; Possum: Present, Future, and Imperfect Indicative; Complementary Infinitive. The imperfect and future of 'to be', as well as how to turn it into 'to be able', all fit into the tune of I Fought the Law: 'I' for the future, 'A' past! The rest is how other verbs are! Leave off the 'B', you'll learn fast! 'To be able' is an easy verb! You just add 'P-O-T' To the beginning of 'to be'! Leave off the 'B', you'll learn fast! You have to remember, of course, that for 'sum' and 'sunt' you stick 'pos' on the front instead of 'pot'. But that's easy enough - S goes with S, and T goes with anything else. |
