PRESENT PERFECT
agit – he acts … egit – he did act
cedit – she stops … cessit – she has stopped
defendit – he defends … defendit – he has defended
ponit – she places … posuit – she did place
mittit – he sends … misit – he sent
1. How can you tell the difference between "agit" and "egit" and how do you translate each of them?
The stem is the indicator. "ag" is the present stem … "ago" – 1st prin . part; "eg" is the perfect stem – 3rd prin. part.
Translate as present tense (now) and past tense (then).
2. When you are translating within a paragraph and you see "defendit," how will you know if it is Present or Perfect?
The context will tell you. If the tenses (and therefore the actions) are present for the other verbs, the tense is the same for "defendit". Same is true if other verbs are past tense (perfect tense).
3. Is "cessit" listed in the dictionary found in the Appendix of the course?
Don’t know about your course; but "cesso" is the first prin. part and that is where you will find it in the dictionary.
4. How will "cessit" be listed in the course dictionary?
See above answer.
5. In the chart above, translate the five Perfect Tense verb forms three ways in English. (e.g., I loved, I did love, I have loved)
You already have three of them. You can also translate as "I was loving" and "I have been loving". These are somewhat clumsy though; I would avoid them.
