Q

In the Present System, how do you find the stem of a verb, like amo, amare, amavi, amatus, that you will add endings to?

A

You take the “re” off of the 2nd Principal Part. So “amare” becomes “ama” and endings like, o,m,t,mus,tis,nt or bam, bas, bat, bamus…. or bo, bis, bit…can be added to it to say what you want to say.
