# Latin II/Future Tense Lesson 2

Salvēte omnēs! Welcome back to Latin for Wikiversity. Here you can peruse a new lesson in Latin, in a simple format. If you would like to catch up, you can find a directory of lessons, a classified vocabulary list, and Memrise courses at the links on the right.

## Future tense, third and fourth conjugation

Today’s lesson continues the future tense in Latin. As we saw last lesson, 1st and 2nd conjugation verbs use the endings
    bō, bis, bit, bimus, bitis, bunt to form the future tense
    (with the help of the connecting vowel ā for 1st conjugation, ē for 2nd).
This week we’ll turn to the forms used for the 3rd and 4th conjugations:
Most irregular verbs follow the pattern of 3rd/4th conjugation verbs, except for compounds of sum which follow that pattern — erō, eris, erit, erimus, eritis, erunt — and compounds of eō: ībō, ībis, ībit, ībimus, ībitis, ībunt. We’ll introduce a few of these in this lesson and a few in the next.
