Highlights from Wed. 8/24


Know the parts of speech:
Pronouns: a (usually shorter) word that replaces a noun: me, you, we, etc.
Adjectives: a word that describes a noun: the red balloon
Adverbs: a word that describes a verb: I read the book quickly
Prepositions: anywhere a mouse can go: over, under, in
Conjunctions: linking words: and, or, but, etc.
Interjections: excited or surprised words: alas! oh no!


The five characteristics of the verb:
person-subject when the verb is translated
number-how many people
tense-present, past, future
mood- “I see” instead of “I might see”
voice- “I see” instead of “I am seen”

Check in the book for how to form the present indicative active (I love, you love..), imperative (love!) and infinitive (to love) of Latin verbs (Wheelock pp. 3-5).
