About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Latin verbs get easier once you can spot tense, voice, mood, and person—and connect a form back to its principal parts. This quiz targets that skill so you can move from “recognize the ending” to “explain the construction.”

Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can slow down and reason through stems, tense markers, and personal endings.

Difficulty and length options

Difficulty is mixed by default, blending straightforward present-system forms with perfect-system and less common patterns so practice stays realistic. You can also choose your question count and difficulty before starting to tailor a quick review or a longer study session.

Common pitfalls to watch for

Many mistakes come from confusing similar-looking endings or assuming a principal part that doesn’t match the verb’s conjugation. Use each item to confirm the stem (present/perfect/supine) first, then identify the tense sign and ending.

  • Mixing up imperfect (-ba-) and future (-bi-/-bo-) indicators
  • Treating perfect forms as present because of familiar personal endings
  • Forgetting that principal parts can be irregular or misleading (e.g., short perfects)
  • Confusing passive endings with deponent patterns
  • Misreading -re/-ri and infinitive/passive cues

Tips for better scores

Say the principal parts out loud (or write them) before answering, then map the form to the correct stem. If you miss a question, note whether the issue was tense recognition or principal-part recall—then retry with a shorter set to reinforce the weak spot.
