In this Stage, you have met sentences with 'we' and 'you':
nos laboramus.
We work.
vos laboratis.
You work.
nos currimus.
We run.
vos curritis.
You run.
Notice that vos laboratis and vos curritis are plural forms.
They are used when 'you' refers to more than one person.
Notice that nos and vos are not strictly necessary, since the endings
-mus and -tis make it clear that 'we' and 'you' are being spoken about.
The Romans generally used nos and vos only for emphasis.
Translate the following examples, underlining the personal endings in the Latin verbs:
