Dear students
When I met you at the end of term, I mentioned the key section of Book One for you to look at.
Pages 180-181 deal with nouns. In English we use WORD ORDER to tell us which noun is the subject (nominative) and which is the object (accusative.) For example, the dog ate the frog OR the frog ate the dog. In Latin, the ENDINGS of the two nouns tell us which is the subject and which is the object. These endings are on page 180 and you should learn them.
Similarly we use the preposition TO where Latin uses the DATIVE ending. This is also on page 180.
Pages 182-184 deal with verbs. Latin rarely uses pronouns (I, you etc.) These are indicated by endings and the table on page 183 should be studied and memorised.
You could also read ALL the sections in English at the end of the 12 stages.
Have fun
Mr Williamson
