Breaking Down Latin Verb Endings in the Indicative Mood
Latin has different endings for the 3 persons singular and the 3 persons plural. The standard order for a paradigm for verbs progresses from 1st to 2nd to 3rd person in a column, starting with the singular. The plural is often in a second column to the right of the singulars, but on this page it is below the singulars.
There is a separate ending for a singular you and a plural you -- think, "you all".
Both are 2nd person. The 3rd person singular default subject is "he", but 3rd person can also be used for a female or a neuter subject.
Verbs can be active, with the subject the agent of the act (e.g., laudo=I praise) or they can be passive, with the subject acted upon (e.g., amatur=he is loved).
