※ 引述《sitifan ()》之铭言：
: The sentence below is quoted from Wheelock's Latin, 7th edition, page 140.
: 1. Diligio puellam quae ex Italia venit. I admire the girl who came from
: Italy.
: Why is "venit"="came"? Isn't venit in the present tense?
"venit" with long vowel 'e' is both
perfect indicative and present indicative of the verb:
"venio, venire, veni, ventus".
You were looking at the wrong verb:
"veneo, venire, venivi, venitus".
