EDUC V I DEFT, FORMATION OF THE TEXSES. The tenses are divided into primitive and derivative. The primitive tenses are those from which the derivative are formed. There are five primitive tenses, which are: the present of the infinitive, the present participle., the past participle, the present of the indicative, and the preterite definite. The present of the infinitive forms two tenses. 1st. The future by changing r, oir, re into rai, ras, ra, rous, res, ront ; as,par!er, je parlerai; jinir, tufiniras; recevoir, il recevra ; rendre, nous rendrons, etc. 2d. It forms the conditional by changing r, oir, re into rais, rais, rait, rions, riez, raieni; as, etudier, fetudierais ; bcitir, il batiraii ; devoir, vous devriez ; dpprendre, ils apprendraient. The present participle forms three tenses. 1st. The three persons plural of the indicative present, by changing ant into ons, ez, ent; as, parlani, nous parlons, vous parlez, Us parlent. Except the third person plural of the third conjugation, where evant is changed into oirent; as, recevant, ils recoivent. 2d. It forms the imperfect of the indicative, by changing ant into ais, ais, ait, ions, iez, aient; as, punissant,ye punissais, tupuniesais, etc. Sd. It forms the present of the subjunc- tive, by changing ant into e, es, e, ions, iez, ent; as, vendant, qiceje rende, que tu vender, etc. Except the third conjugation, where evant is changed into oive, oives. oive, oivent. The past participle forms all the compound tenses by prefixing the auxiliary avoir or etre; as, j'ai parte; il est alle ; elle a fini ; nous etumsventcs, vous aurez fini, ils sera lent arrives, etc. The present of the indicative forms the imperative by suppressing the personal pronouns, tu, nous, vous, and by dropping the s in the second person singular of the first conjugation; as, tu paries, parle; nous finissons, finissons ; vous recevez, receves ; vous vendez, vendee. The preterite definite forms the imperfect of the subjunctive by adding se to the second person singular, as: tu parlas, que je parlasse, que tu parlasses, qu'il Cparldt, que nous parlassions, que rous parlassiez. qu'ils parlassent; tu finis, que je finisse, que tu finisses, qu'il fi nit, que nous fin issions, qua vous finis*iez, qu'ils fi dissent ; tu recus, que je recusse, que tu recusses, qu'il rer.ut, que nous recessions, que vous rer-ussiez, qu'ils reeussent ; tu vendis, que je vendisse, que tu rendisses, qu'il vendit, que nous vendissions, que vous vendissiez, qu'ils veil' dissent.

A letter, or syllable, such as e, se, le, ve, following an adjective or participle, shows it is feminine. The infinitive of the first conjugation always ends in er; the second, in ir; the third, in oir; and the fourth, in re. The infinitive only is given, in this dictionary, when the verb is regular. When a tense of an irregular verb is conjugated like the same tense of the regular conju- gation to which it belongs, it is omitted in the dictionary. Derivative tenses formed regu- larly are also omitted. A NEW FKENC-H AND ENGLISH ■> I w ' c dictionary: PART I. EXHIBITING THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE FRENCH EY CORRESPONDENT ENGLISH SOUNDS.
