Now I've got this big Latin test at school tomorrow and I need some help.You know in the second conjugation of verbs it goes eo,well in the irregular perfect and pluperfect the verb sedeo,maneo and video the first person is sedi,mansi and vidi.Now here's the question,when you are conjugating the pluperfect,does one retain the unique endings?For example do you go sedieram,ras,rat,ramus,ratis,rant or is it sederam etc?I am begging you for help on my knees,I truly am desperate.Thanks
