When trying to determine a verb's tense, ask yourself these questions, in this order.
Does it have an
ending
that is only used for one tense? (e.g.,
-bam, -bās, -bat
for imperfect,
-bō, -bis, -bit
for future)
Is it formed from the
present stem
or
perfect stem
? If perfect, it's perfect tense. If present, it's present or future.
If it has an
-e-
,
what conjugation
is it? If 2nd conj, it's present. If 3rd, 3rd
-iō,
or 4th conj, it's future.
Examples:
stabunt
(stō, stare, stetī, statūrus):
-bunt
has to be future tense
dūxit
(dūcō, dūcere, dūxī, ductus): perfect stem means it's perfect tense
leget
(legō, legere, lēgī, lectus): present stem;
-e-
for 3rd conj is future tense
manēs
(maneō, manēre, mānsī, mānsūrus): present stem;
-e-
for 2nd conj is present tense
