HOMEWORK: Thursday May 19, 2011

Our "in basilica" skits are coming along well.  They should be so much fun to watch next week!  I'm so excited to see the 7th graders perform these skits ENTIRELY in Latin!

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.

If you have any missing work, please turn it in ASAP!  We have less than a month of school left.  Make sure you are prepared for finals and to transition to the 8th grade by keeping up with all assignments.   For those of you I won't see during tomorrow's half day, have a great weekend!

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
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."
