Of VERBS PASSIVE, RECIPROCAL, and NEUTER.

HE Verb Paffive is formed as in English and French, by the addition of the Auxiliary Verb Sono I am, in all its Moods and Tenfes to the Participle Active, or Common, as will appear from the following Example,

Effere amato, to be loved.

Prefent Tenfe

Sing. Sono amato
Jei amato

è amato

I am loved

thou art loved

he is loved

Plur.

And the like throughout the feveral Moods and
Tenfes See Page 42. And here Note, that the
Participle changes its Number and Gender as the
Noun it agrees with, or the occafion requires, and
frequently agrees with the Noun that follows;
Example,

Having feen a Woman, avendo veduta una donna.
He has faid very fine things, egli hà dette belliffime cofe.

VERBS Reciprocal take the Pronouns mi myself, ti thyfelf, fi himself, herself, ci ourselves, vi yourfelves, themselves, before them only, as the Italians feldom make use of the Pronouns Nominative in conjugating their Verbs; I shall fet down an Example.
