Deponent verbs have passive endings but active meaning: irascitur "he is angry", largiuntur "they bestow".
A form in -r, -ris, -tur, -mur, -mini, -ntur, or an infinitive in -ri or -i, is not always passive. If the dictionary gives the verb with passive parts (irascor, irasci, iratus sum), translate it as active. Deponents can take objects: claritatem largiuntur "they bestow fame".
Common in Book II: adversor "oppose", aversor "turn away from", irascor "be angry", morior "die", nitor "strive, rely on", obsequor "obey", largior "bestow", loquor "speak", scrutor "search", intueor "look at", pervagor "roam over", patrocinor "support".
The perfect participle of a deponent is active: secutus "having followed", iratus "angry". Present and future participles are active as usual (irascentium, patrocinantem, moriturus); only the gerundive is passive in sense.
The 2nd singular imperative ends in -re, like an infinitive: sequere "follow!", loquere "speak!". Semi-deponents (audeo, gaudeo, soleo) have active present forms but passive-looking perfects with active meaning: ausus sum "I dared".
