How to conjugate e-stems in Latin
The e-stems work similarly to the a-stems. In this example, we use terrere, which means 'to frighten'.
The stem of the verb is terre-:
| Latin | English |
|---|---|
| terreo | I frighten |
| terres | you frighten |
| terret | he/she/it frightens |
| terremus | we frighten |
| terretis | you (pl.) frighten |
| terrent | they frighten |
The infinitive is terrēre, with a long ē: this is the second conjugation. Distinguish it from third-conjugation vincere, with a short e.
