7. Another oddball verb- Fio, fieri, factus sum
Fio is a common irregular verb meaning to be done, to occur, to happen
It is used as the passive form for facio in the PRESENT system ONLY.
The perfect forms are identical with the perfect passive forms of facio.
Essentially, it acts something like a reverse-deponent:
