164. Passive Personal Endings. In the passive voice we use a different set of personal endings. They are as follows:
a. Observe that the letter -r appears somewhere in all but one of the endings. This is sometimes called the passive sign.
165. PARADIGMS
1. The tense sign and the personal endings are added as in the active.
2. In the future the tense sign -bi- appears as -bo- in the first person, -be- in the second, singular number, and as -bu- in the third person plural.
3. Inflect laudō, necō, portō, moveō, dēleō, iubeō, in the present, imperfect, and future indicative, active and passive.
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Person | amor | amāmur |
