7th Grade: October 12th Lesson

This is a review. You (in theory) know these two endings already.

​

Be prepared to go a bit further with them.​

Open Ended

Type your translation of "puella patres amat".

Audio Response

"patres" can in theory be a Nominative Ending. Based on the charts, it's a Nominative Plural ending. Why is it not the subject of the verb amat? Explain your reasoning in a brief audio recording.

​The "SOV" word order is typical to Latin and what you will normally see. That is not a guarantee though.

​The concept of SVA is not new to you. We discussed this many times. Yventon is particularly adept at identifying it in a sentence.

​

However, if you look closely at the chart toward the bottom, we are beginning to introduce MORE verb endings.​ On the next slide is a brief video discussing ALL these endings.

So verbs also have "person".

​

3rd Person is the only person where you can have a noun​ acting as your subject.

​

​1st and 2nd person MUST use an English pronoun.​

​

The flowchart on the left can help. We've already stated how important the verb is in the sentence. That is even more important now.​ The next several slides will have practice for you.
