Examples of First Conjugation Verbs
The four principal parts of almost all first conjugation verbs can be
obtained
from the stem of first person present indicative form by adding the
endings
-o, -a, -avi, and -atus. Rather than
write
out all four principal parts, I mark the regular verbs as (1). For
example,
the entry:
ambulo (1). vt. traverse, travel. vi.
walk.

ambul-o, -are, -avi, -atus. (transitive
verb) traverse, travel. (intransitive verb) walk.

Irregular verb dare
The a in the infinitive is short, rather than long. Most of the
conjugation is regular except for the length of the a in the
present
stem before some of the endings. In addition, some forms have alternate
irregular forms (e.g.: Third person plural present indicative dant
or danunt.) Like stare, some compounds of dare
drift
into third conjugation (e.g.: trado, tradere, tradidi,
traditus.
vt. handover, betray.)
- do, dare, dedi, datus. irr.
vt.
give, grant, allow.
- circumdo, circumdare, circumdedi, circumdatus.
irr. vt. surround.
