since the 2nd declension can’t have an “i” next to an “n” you must replace it with a “u”

3rd Congregation - ere

cano, canere, canesi, canetus / play (an instroment)

get the second set of word, canere, and take out the ERE. But, you can’t let it sound like “cans” or “cant” so you add an “I” on the end of it. On the last one, on plural, just replace the “i” with a “U”
