are inflected as follows:

1. Observe that /capio:\ and the other -io: verbs follow the fourth
conjugation wherever in the fourth conjugation _two vowels occur in
succession._ (Cf. capio:, audio:; capiunt, audiunt; and all the
imperfect and future.) All other forms are like the third conjugation.
(Cf. capis, regis; capit, regit; etc.)

facio, facere, _make, do_
fugio, fugere, _flee_
iacio, iacere, _hurl_

_161._ The Imperative Mood. The imperative mood expresses a command;
as, _come!_ _send!_ The present tense of the imperative is used only in
the second person, singular and plural. _The singular in the active
voice is regularly the same in form as the present stem. The plural is
formed by adding -te to the singular._

CONJUGATION SINGULAR PLURAL
I. ama:, _love thou_ ama:'te, _love ye_
II. mone:, _advise thou_ mone:'te, _advise ye_
III. (_a_) rege, _rule thou_ re'gite, _rule ye_
(_b_) cape, _take thou_ ca'pite, _take ye_
IV. audi:, _hear thou_ audi:'te, _hear ye_

1. In the third conjugation the final -e- of the stem becomes -i- in
the plural.

have the irregular forms /di:c\, /du:c\, and /fac\ in the singular.
