[1] The perfect, pluperfect and future perfect tenses of the deponent verbs are formed from the third principal part of the deponent verb, and again a reminder that, while this looks like a perfect passive participle, it is active in meaning:
hortor, hortārī, hortātus sum [1/dep]: urge; encourage
hortātus sum │ I (have) encouraged [not *I was encouraged*]
hortātus eram │I had encouraged
hortātus erō │I shall have encouraged
[2] The participle will agree in gender and number with the subject:
hortāta est │ she encouraged
hortātī sumus │ we encouraged

*Note: Apart from finding the deponent verb in the extract above, take a look at the use of the perfect passive participles without the verb esse:
fugātī equitēs │ the cavalry (were) routed
proelium commissum │ a battle (was) fought
occīsī aliquot │ several (were) slain
This was discussed in a previous post i.e. esse is often omitted to make the narrative more concise with a focus on the participles. Similarly, Cicero uses a tricolon – a common feature in his speeches and his writing – which comprises three similarly structured phrases, the final phrase being the most climactic:
[1] fugātī equitēs [2] proelium commissum [3] occīsī aliquot
