English verbs have principal parts, too. Ex: “see, saw, seen” are principal parts of an English verb. Additional forms of this word include “sees, ” which is a third person singular form of an English verb.

II. HOW TO properly translate principal parts

The first principal part is called, in full terms: First person, singular, present tense, active voice, indicative mood

If you can’t remember all that, just remember that it translates to English using the pronoun “I” Examples: Habito - I live Curro – I run Sum – I am

The second principal part is called, in full terms: Infinitive

Examples: Habitare - to live currere – to run esse – to be (This is also how we translate the entire verb on vocab quizzes. )
