ARRANGEMENT OF THE VERB.

741. Verbs are divided into two classes, according to the form of the

present system: I. Root verbs, and verbs in #-ere#, mostly primitive;

II. Verbs in #-āre#, #-ēre#, or #-īre#, mostly denominative.

742. Verbs are sometimes arranged without regard to difference of kind,

in the alphabetical order of the vowel before -s of the second person

singular of the present indicative active, #ā#, #ē#, #i#, #ī#: thus,

#laudās#, #monēs#, #regis#, #audīs#, sometimes called the _first_,

_second_, _third_, and _fourth conjugation_ respectively.
