LESSON XLIX FUTURE OF THE THIRD AND FOURTH CONJUGATIONS THE TENSE SIGN OF THE FUTURE 290. In the first and second conjugations, as we have seen in section 194 a, the tense sign of the future is -bi-.

Before the personal endings -t, -nt, and -ntur the -ē- becomes short. USE OF THE TENSE SIGN 291. In the case of third conjugation verbs which are conjugated like ducō, the tense sign of the future replaces the final letter of the stem. In the fourth conjugation it is added to the stem. 293. 1.
