§ 45. DEPONENT VERBS.

Certain Verbs in Latin are called Deponents. They are Passive in form but Active in meaning. Thus the Verb venor, I hunt, is Passive in form, being conjugated like amor, the Passive of amo, and makes Perfect venatus sum, Infinitive Present venari, etc., but the meaning, I hunt, is, of course, Active.

There are four Conjugations of Deponent Verbs, as, (1) venor, Inf. venāri, to hunt; (2) vereor, Inf. verēri, to fear; (3) utor, Inf. uti, to use; and (4) partior, Inf. partiri, to divide. The endings are the same as those of amor, moneor, regor, and audior, respectively; but they also have a Future Infinitive and a Present and Future Participle of Active Form, together with Gerunds and Supines. Thus, utor, I use, has Infinitive and Participles as under :
