The Latin verbs have the following properties:

Most Latin verbs belong to one of the four verb conjugations, though some, like esse ( to be ), do not.

The main difference from other ancient Indo-European languages, such as Latin, is that verbs can be conjugated in only two tenses ( vs. the six " tenses " – really tense / aspect combinations – of Latin ), and have no synthetic passive voice ( although it did still exist in Gothic ).
