Interlingua Grammar
From an English Point of View


Verbs: Participles

Present Participle
The verb participles are formed as follows.
For the present participle (the -ing form) add -nte to the present. For verbs ending in -i add ente. The verb is now an adjective. Use it like one. Remember -er verbs use -ente and -ir verbs use -iente.

Parlar parlante
le homine parlante the man speaking
Vider vidente
le homine vidente the man seeing
Audir audiente
le homine audiente the man hearing


Le homine parlante es un homine importante.
The man speaking is a important man.

Past Participle
For the past participle (the -ed form) of a verb add -te to the present tense. If the present tense ends in -e, change the -e to -i before the -te. Remember both -er and -ir verbs use -ite. This verb form can be used as an adjective or it can be used to make complex past tenses or the passive voice.

Parlar parlate
le parola parlate the spoken word
Vider vidite
le homine vidite the man seen
Audir audite
le sono audite the man heard


Le homine vidite in le pictura es John Smith.
The man seen in the picture is John Smith.

Exercitios
Give the present and past participles for the following verbs.
1. cognoscer
2. vivir
3. jocar
4. vender
5. sortir
6. lavar

Verbs: Compound Past
Complex past tenses are formed just like in English.

have done ha facite
had done habeva facite
will have done habera facite


Io te ha vidite.
I have seen you.

Le femina habeva facite le repasto.
The woman had made the meal.

Deman, ille habera arrivate a Roma.
Tomorrow, he will have arrived in Rome.

Verbs: Passive Voice
In English we use the passive voice quite often. The passive voice is when the subject receives the action as in I am heard, it is said. In Interlingua, you should avoid using the passive voice because the Romance languages never use it. Some tricks to by pass the passive voice are...
1. use on (one) as the subject
I am heard on me dice
it is said on lo dice
2. place the reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, vos, los) before the verb.
I am heard
io me dice
it is said il se dice
3. rephrase the sentence



Que hora es il?
What time is it? You tell time in Interlingua much like you do in English. Instead of saying o'clock in Interlingua, you just say the number and hour. One o'clock = le un. Two twenty = duo horas e vinti minutas.
You can say either hours.
12:15 = le dece-duo e cinque minutas.

or
You can use "quarter" and "half".
12:15 = dece-duo horas e un quarte.

3:30 = tres horas e medie = tres horas e trenta minutas
