[Footnote 3: Observe that in /do:, dare\, the /a\ is _short_, and
that the present stem is da- and not da:-. The only forms of
/do:\ that have a long are /da:s\ (pres. indic.), /da:\ (pres.
imv.), and /da:ns\ (pres. part.).]
_130._ The Translation of the Present. In English there are three ways
of expressing present action. We may say, for example, _I live, I am
living_, or _I do live_. In Latin the one expression /habito\ covers all
three of these expressions.
_131._ EXERCISES
Give the _voice_, _mood_, _tense_, _person_, and _number_ of each form.
I. 1. Vocamus, properatis, iubent. 2. Movetis, laudas, vides.
3. Deletis, habetis, dant. 4. Maturas, desiderat, videmus. 5. Iubet,
movent, necat. 6. Narramus, moves, vident. 7. Laboratis, properant,
portas, parant. 8. Delet, habetis, iubemus, das.
N.B. Observe that the personal ending is of prime importance in
translating a Latin verb form. Give that your first attention.

caring for, they do care for. 3. You give, you are having, you do have

they see, we are telling. 6. We do fight, we order, he is moving, he
