Index of Types of Latin Verbs

There are basically four types of Latin verbs: regular, irregular, deponent, and semi-deponent.

1. Latin has regular verbs of the 4 conjugations, plus the -io verbs. Verbs are conjugated differently depending on the conjugations to which they belong. Each conjugation has a thematic vowel, which helps you identify it.

3. There are deponent verbs (verba deponentia) that appear to be passive (they have a passive morphology), but are translated as if they are active (they have an active meaning). Orbis Latinus explains the origin of the name "deponent verb". It says ancient grammarians thought the verbs had "put down" (deponere) their active forms.
