Latin II students:
Good grief! I nearly forgot to post the assignment.
Be sure you know what you were asked to memorize for last week: 415, 421 vocab. Grammar 28, the numbers 1--20 and 1st--10th.
Next, memorize the verbs and their principal parts on page 422. You will need these verbs plus the ones on 415 and 421 to begin the study of indirect statements when we meet again.
If you have completed your homework by doing Ch. 8 in Latin Two Years, you are aware that "possum" is not just that beady-eyed creature who tears up trash cans and plays dead. It's a Latin verb--an irregular verb--mean "to be able, can." The parts are possum, posse, potui.
Possum ambulare in oppidum translates then as "I am able to walk into town" or "I can walk into town." Review the forms for this verb in Lesson 8 of Latin Two Years. Now go to Lesson 13 in the same book. Here is the perfect indicative of sum and possum. Look at the forms. You take the third principal part of the verb--both are quite irregular--and simply add the endings for the perfect tense: i, isti, it, imus, istis, erunt. Potuit translates, for example, as "he could" or "he was able." Be sure when you do the exercises below that you review the vocab. for sum in Lesson 8.
Exercises from Lesson 13: A, B, c, e.
Now do Lesson 14. This is a review of the pluperfect, where the endings are eram, eras, erat, eramus, eratis, erant. When we see those attached to the end of a Latin verb, we ALWAYS use in our translation the English word 'had'. Amaveram--I had loved; posuerat--he had placed; fueramus--we had been; potueratis--you (pl.) had been able.
Lesson 14: Complete Ex. A, B, C.
Lesson 15: Read about the future perfect indicative and do exercises A and C.
Lesson 16: A, B, D
You have studied these forms in Henle. They should be familiar to you. Use pages 46 and 47 of your Grammar book for extra help on the endings.
Lesson 91: The first section is labeled "Names in Fact and Fiction." There will be a test on the following names: Aeneas, Castor and Pollux, Cato, Cicinnatus, Cicero, Cornelia, Daedalus, Hercules, Horatius, Jason, Medea, Medusa, Midas, Olympus. Just learn the brief description here.
Hope all goes well. Write or call if you get stuck (in Latin, not the snow).
