Full course — free exercises, Feynman reviews, and AI-graded feedback: https://ludium.ai/courses/latin-for-b... Until now every Latin verb has been a doer: the subject performs the action. In this lesson the arrow turns around. The subject stops acting and starts receiving, and one small ending makes all the difference. amātur, he is loved. You will learn the passive voice across three tenses and two conjugations, then read a tale of a hero and a savage monster. Key concepts covered: Active versus passive voice: when the subject does the action versus receives it The six passive personal endings and the tell-tale R that runs through them The present passive of the first and second conjugations, amor and moneor The imperfect passive, I was being loved, keeping the bā tense sign The future passive, I shall be loved, and its shifting bo, be, and bu vowels New vocabulary and a continuous Latin reading to hear the forms in context ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SOURCE MATERIALS The source materials for this video are from https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18251
