Task
Given the input: "amare", output the following, each on its own line:
amo
amas
amat
amamus
amatis
amant



REXX

Checks were also made to ensure the Latin verb has only Latin letters (upper and/or lower case). <lang rexx>/*REXX pgm conjugates (to the terminal) a Latin verb when given a first conjugation verb*/ parse arg verbs if verbs= | verbs="," then verbs= 'amare dare' suffix= 'o as at amus atis ant' /*a list of six Latin verb suffixes. */

  1. = words(verbs) /*obtain the # of Latin verbs specified*/
     do j=1  for #;                  say        /*process each      "     "       "    */
     $= word(verbs, j);  $$= $;      upper $$   /*obtain one of the "     "       "    */
     if \datatype($, 'M')  then call ser "the following isn't a Latin verb: "      $
     L= length($)                               /*obtain the length of a Latin verb.   */
     if L<4  then call ser 'length of Latin verb is too short: '     $
     if right($$, 3)\=='ARE'  then call ser "the following isn't a Latin verb: "   $
     stem= left($, length($) - 3)               /*obtain the stem of the Latin verb.   */
     say center(' present indicative tense of "'$'"', 50, "─")
        do k=1  for words(suffix)               /*display each of the verb suffixes.   */
        say left(,21) stem || word(suffix, k) /*display a Latin verb stem with auffix*/
        end   /*k*/
     say
     end      /*j*/

exit 0 /*stick a fork in it, we're all done. */ /*──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────*/ ser: say; say '***error*** ' arg(1); say; exit 13</lang>

output   when using the default inputs:
─────── present indicative tense of "amare"───────
                      amo
                      amas

                      amamus
                      amatis
                      amant


─────── present indicative tense of "dare"────────
                      do

                      datis
                      dant

Wren

<lang ecmascript>var conjugate = Fn.new { |infinitive|

   if (!infinitive.endsWith("are")) Fiber.abort("Not a first conjugation verb.")
   var stem = infinitive[0..-4]
   System.print("Present indicative tense of '%(infinitive)':")
   for (ending in ["o", "as", "at", "amus", "atis", "ant"]) {
       System.print("  " + stem + ending)
   }
   System.print()

}

for (infinitive in ["amare", "dare"]) conjugate.call(infinitive)</lang>

Output:

Present indicative tense of 'dare':
