Latin 101

Chapter 1 Review

1. Memorize the principal parts of all verbs!

2. Memorize the recipe for forming verbs!

• Take the second principal part
• Drop the letters after the "stem vowel" [ä for 1st conjugation (e.g., errö, erräre, errävï, errätum); ë for 2nd conjugation (e.g., vidëo, vidëre, vïdï, vïsum)
  • erräre --> errä
  • vidëre --> vidë
• Add the correct ending for person and number:
  • 1st person singular (I) - ö
  • 2nd person singular (you) - s
  • 3rd person singular (he/she/it) - t
  • 1st person plural (we) - mus
  • 2nd person plural (you all) - tis
  • 3rd person plural (they) - nt

   

3. Drill, Drill, Drill!
