Hello!  We are off to a great start for this short week.  Our "in basilica" skits are taking shape and looking pretty creative!

There is no written homework for class tonight, but it is very important that you spend time reviewing your part of the skit for tomorrow (either Caecilius, iudex, Hermogenes, or amicus).  Remember, if you have your entire part memorized tomorrow, you will earn 5 extra credit points.

Homework for the weekend is "Stage IV Vocabulary Review."  All vocabulary words can be found under "Vocabulary" at the top of this page.  This is a simple assignment and a great way to review for our Stage IV quiz.

Verb Endings and Subjects

In Latin, each verb in the present tense can have one of six endings.  Each ending shows a different subject.

Here is a table showing these endings:

SINGULAR -ō	PLURAL -mus
-s	-tis
-t	-nt

Here is a table showing the subject pronouns that each endings matches:

SINGULAR -I	PLURAL -we
-you	-you
-he/she/it	-they

So,
- "venio" would mean "I come"
- "venis" would mean "you come"
- "venit" would mean "he comes," "she comes," or "it comes."

HOMEWORK Tuesday, May 17, 2011

Homework for all colleges: Finish the translation of "in basilica."  Remember to use all vocabulary notes, flashcards, and foldables.  You will need to use Stage I-III vocabulary as well as the Stage IV words.  Also, your Stage IV Classwork I worksheet will be very helpful as you see endings on verbs change many times.  The vocabulary words for Stages 1-IV are now posted on the blog.

* If you have lost your homework, the script is below.  You may copy and paste it into a Word document or handwrite it. *
Remember

- The "o" ending on a verb shows the subject is "I."
- The "s" ending on a verb shows the subject is "you (singular).:
- The "t" ending on a verb shows the subject is "he/she/it."
