LESSON XXXVI
REVIEW OF PRINCIPAL PARTS • PREPOSITIONS YES-OR-NO QUESTIONS
208. The following list shows the principal parts of all the verbs you have had excepting those used in the paradigms. The parts you have had before are given for review, and the perfect participle is the only new form for you to learn. Sometimes one or more of the principal parts are lacking, which means that the verb has no forms based on that stem. A few verbs lack the perfect passive participle but have the future active participle in -ūrus, which appears in the principal parts instead.
Irregular Verbs :
| sum absum dō1 | esse abesse dare | fuī āfuī dedī | futūrus āfutūrus datus | be be away give |
    1. dō is best classed with the irregular verbs because of the short a in the present and participial stems.
Conjugation I :
| portō | portāre | portāvī | portātus | carry |
| So for all verbs of this conjugation thus far used. |||||

209. Prepositions. 1. We learned in §§ 52, 53 that only the accusative and the ablative are used with prepositions, and that prepositions expressing ablative relations govern the ablative case. Those we have had are here summarized. The table following should be learned.
* ā or ab, from, by
* cum, with
* dē, down from, concerning
* ē or ex, out from, out of
* prō, before, in front of; for, in behalf of
* sine, without
2 Prepositions not expressing ablative relations must govern the accusative (§ 52). Of these we have had the following:
ad, to; apud, among; per, through
There are many others which you will meet as we proceed.
3. The preposition in when meaning in or on governs the ablative; when meaning to, into, against (relations foreign to the ablative) in governs the accusative.
210. Yes-or-No Questions. Questions not introduced by some interrogative word like who, why , when, etc., but expecting the answer yes or no, may take one of three forms:
* Is he coming? (Asking for information. Implying nothing as to the answer expected.)
* Is he not coming? (Expecting the answer yes.)
* He isn^t coming, is he? (Expecting the answer no.) These three forms are rendered in Latin as follows:
* Venitne? is he coming ?
* Nōnne venit? is he not coming?
* Num venit? he isn’t coming, is he?
    a. -ne, the question sign, is usually added to the verb, which then stands first.
    b. We learned in § 56. that yes-or-no questions are usually answered by repeating the verb, with or without a negative. Instead of this, ita,vērō, certē, etc. (so, truly, certainly, etc.) may be used for yes, and nōn, minimē, etc. for no if the denial is emphatic, as, by no means, not at all. ​211..
