2nd declension noun list general.doc
1st class (9/26)
1. subject (a) and direct object (am) forms for 1st declension.
2. Use of the perfect tense: 3rd principle part followed by a "-t", translated "he______ed", (also "he has_______ed", "did he _______?")
3. Vocab for caput unum (I). Don't forget the vocabulary games indicated above.
4. Exercise A
Looking for more practice? Use the handout--a list of 1st declension nouns-to write simple three-word sentences. You will need to stick with the verbs that we see in the chapter.
Handout: 1st declension general noun list.doc
2nd class (Oct. 3)
Review first class
2nd declension subject (us/r) and direct object(um) endings
3rd class (Oct. 10)
We finished the 1st chapter.
At this point we have learned:
-a, -us/r indicates a subject
-am, -um indicate direct object
-t indicatees a verb. thus far all verbs are built by adding -the the 3rd principle part, and are translated
1. she/he/it_______ed
2. she/he/it has _________ed
or 3. Did she/he/it_____________?
We have also seen the interrogative pronouns
quis, who? quid what? as subjects
and quem whom? quid what? as direct objects
-ne appended to the first word in a sentence,makes the sentence into a question.
4th class (Oct. 17)

5th class (10/24)
1.use of plural direct object
-am becomes -as
-um becomes -os
2. prepositional phrases: the use of some prepositions followed by the direct object form. We will now call that form the "Accusative case".
3. Intransitive verbs: those verbs that do not require an object to convey a full idea: Breathe, sleep, walk, jog.(Be careful some intranstivie verbs in English can be made to look transitive, but that doesn't generally happen in Latin.

8th class (Nov 14)
Caput 3 (continued)
Purpose clauses, imperfect subjunctive, and review of naming practices
We started IIIA, and you can do as much of it as you need
For h.w.: Exercise IIIB (even though the sentences are numbered), is actually a continuous "dialogue" with questions following answers which then engender more questions. If you can read through it, that would be great!
9th class (Nov 21)
Caput 3 (continued)
We finished (if that were possible) the discussion of classes in Rome. We checked Exercise IIIB together.
We started to look at another page of tombstones(from Aquileia)
