The Perfect Participle is formed from the former supine,by changing um into us; as, amdt-um, amdt-us; monit-um,mo nit-us, &c.The Future Participle is formed as the active gerund (185-17),oy putting dies instead of climi; as, gerund, amandum, participle,amandus ;gerund, monendum, participle, monendus, &c.187.—§ 54. THE IRREGULAR VERB SUM *The irregular verb sum is sometimes called a substantiveverb, as it denotes being, or simple existence ; as, su?n, " Iam," " I exist." Sometimes it is called auxiliary, because itis used as an auxiliary verb in the inflection of the passivevoice. It is conjugated thus :Pres. Ind.Sum,Pres.

See 181-8. Thenominatives ego, tu, Me, of the singular, and nos, vos, illi, of the plural, arehere prefixed in the present tense, to show their place and their use ; but inthe following tenses, and in the following conjugations, they are omitted.Still they are to be regarded as understood, and may be supplied at pleasure.See 118, NbU2. In the plural, " you " is much more common than " ye,"Xwhich is now seldom used.
