It will end in either –o, -s, -t, -mus, -tis, -nt.
III. Find the nominative/subject if the verb is 3rd person singular or
plural. Otherwise, the subject is already embedded in the verb!
e.g. videoI see; videtisyou all see

then a –m (am, um, um, em, um, em) AND if it is plural it will end
in a vowel and them perhaps a –s (as, os, es, us, es).
V. Translate everything else! If you have a verb of giving, showing or telling,
look for a dative. If you have a linking verb, look for a predicate
nominative. Make sure you translate every word!
