Cleopatra Study Guide - Important Facts and Timeline Study Guides Cleopatra OverviewImportant FactsDiscussion QuestionsWhat Did Cleopatra Look Like?PicturesTimelineTerms Cleopatra (January 69 B.C. - August 12, 30 B.C.) was the last pharaoh of Egypt. Following her death, Rome took over as ruler of Egypt. She was not an Egyptian, however, despite being pharaoh, but a Macedonian in the Ptolemaic dynasty that a Macedonian Ptolemy I Soter started. Ptolemy was a military leader under Alexander the Great and possibly a close relative. Cleopatra was one of several children of a descendant of this first Ptolemy, Ptolemy XII Auletes. Her two older sisters were Berenice IV and Cleopatra VI who may have died early in life. Berenice staged a coup while Ptolemy Auletes was in power. With Roman backing, Auletes was able to regain the throne and have his daughter Berenice executed. An Egyptian custom that the Macedonian Ptolemies adopted was for pharaohs to marry their siblings. Thus, when Ptolemy XII Auletes died, he left the care of Egypt in the hand of Cleopatra (aged about 18) and her younger brother Ptolemy XIII (aged about 12). Ptolemy XIII, influenced by his courtiers, forced Cleopatra to flee from Egypt. She regained control of Egypt through the help of Julius Caesar, with whom she had an affair and a son named Caesarion. Following the death of Ptolemy XIII, Cleopatra married an even younger brother, Ptolemy XIV. In time, she ruled along with another Ptolemaic male, her son Caesarion. Cleopatra is known best for her love affairs with Caesar and Mark Antony, by whom she had three children, and her suicide by snake bite after her husband Antony took his own life. The death of Cleopatra put an end to Egyptian pharaohs ruling Egypt. After Cleopatras suicide, Octavian took control of Egypt, putting it into Roman hands.

Simple Dépêcher (to Hurry) Conjugations in French

Simple Dà ©pà ªcher (to Hurry) Conjugations in French How would you say hurry up in French? One way is to use a conjugate of the verb  dà ©pà ªcher. For example, you can use dà ©pà ªche toi for a single person and dà ©pà ªchons vous for multiple people. That is just one very simple conjugation of the French verb. There are many others that you will want to know in order to use  dà ©pà ªcher  beyond a quick command. A short lesson will run you through the most common forms. Conjugating the French Verb  Dà ©pà ªcher Dà ©pà ªcher  is a  regular -ER  verb  and that makes the conjugations a little easier to remember. This is particularly true if you have already studied similar words like  demander  (to ask) or  dà ©cider  (to decide). Thats because they share the same infinitive verb endings. Before you can add an ending to  dà ©pà ªcher, we must identify the verb stem:  dà ©pà ªch-. To this, the endings are added to  match the subject pronoun with the appropriate tense. For example, I am hurrying is je dà ©pà ªche while we will hurry is nous dà ©pà ªcherons. Subject Present Future Imperfect je dpche dpcherai dpchais tu dpches dpcheras dpchais il dpche dpchera dpchait nous dpchons dpcherons dpchions vous dpchez dpcherez dpchiez ils dpchent dpcheront dpchaient The Present Participle of  Dà ©pà ªcher Adding -ant  to the verb stem of  dà ©pà ªcher  gives you the  present participle  dà ©pà ªchant. Its helpful beyond the verb usage and can also be an adjective, gerund, or noun. The Past Participle and Passà © Composà © Another way to express the past tense hurried is with the  passà © composà ©. To construct this, attach  the  past participle  dà ©pà ªchà ©Ã‚  to the appropriate conjugate of  avoir, the  auxiliary verb. As an example, I hurried is jai dà ©pà ªchà © and we hurried is nous avons dà ©pà ªchà ©. Notice how  ai  and  avons  are conjugates of  avoir  and that the past participle remains unchanged. More Simple  Dà ©pà ªcher  Conjugations to Know When the action of hurrying is in question or uncertain, you might use the subjunctive verb mood. In a similar fashion, the conditional form implies that the hurrying will only happen  if  something else occurs.

The same can be said for the imperfect subjunctive, however being able to recognize these is a good idea.
