I will bring this up in class tomorrow, too, but I wanted to mention a couple of things about Wheelock's vocabulary list:
-The words in parentheses after each vocabulary entry are English derivatives meant to help you learn the Latin word (for example, admonish and admonition after the Latin word moneo).
-"lit." stands for literally. Amabo te literally means "I love you," but when the Romans used the phrase (unless they were talking to a loved one) it meant "please."
