Experience III, Lesson 18: Passive and Deponent Subjunctive

Learning how to form the different Subjunctive Verb times for Passive and Deponent Verbs

Time 1 and Time 2 Subjunctive are formed identical to how we learned to make our active to passive "flip" in Lesson I-25. Form the active subjective as learned in Lesson 14 then flip passive.
dono, donare, donavi, donatus - to donate
T.1s donet - he donates
Passive: donetur - it is given
T.2s donaremus - we donate
Passive donaremur - we are given
Time 3 and Time 4 Subjunctive are formed by adding the Subjunctive form of the verb "to be" from Lesson 15 to the fourth part of the verb, T.1s and T.2s respectively.
T.3s donaveris - you give
Passive: donatus sis - you are given
T.4s donavissent - they give
Passive: donata essent - things are given
Deponent verbs are formed the same way, but recall from Lesson I-30 they have active meaning.
morior, mori, mortuus sum (Gp. 3) - to die
T.1s moriar - I die
T.2s moreretur - he dies
T.3s mortuus sis - you die
T.4s mortui essetis - ye die
N.B.
Obviously the meanings given here are if these sound indicative, which subjunctives often can. More will be learned about the meaning of these different times in the next lesson.
