corrigit

Corrigit is a Latin verb form: the third-person singular present indicative active of corrigo, corrigere, correxi, correctum. Corrigo is an irregularly formed verb belonging to the mix of the third conjugation with -io in its principal parts, and it means “to correct,” “to make right,” or “to rectify.” The form corrigit translates to “he/she/it corrects.”

In classical Latin, corrigit is used to describe the act of correcting something in the present time frame. The verb can apply to correcting texts, errors, actions, or conditions, and it can be extended metaphorically to mean rectifying a situation or reforming a behavior. The present indicative mood conveys a straightforward, factual action carried out by the subject.

Morphology and related forms: corrigo (infinitive), corrigi (present active participle), correxi (perfect active), correctum (supine/Perfect passive participle). Other persons and tenses follow the standard -o, -is, -it, -imus, -itis, -unt paradigm for -io verbs in the present indicative. The passive voice form is corrigitur, meaning “he/she/it is corrected.”

Examples:

- Puella textum corrigit. (The girl corrects the text.)

- Magister librum corrigit. (The teacher corrects the book.)

Corrigit contrasts with corrigere in meaning and usage as a single-lexeme form; for broader discussion, see corrigo and corrigere, the related forms of the same verb.
