Highlights from Tuesday 10/4

Know:

What a typical vocabulary entry looks like for nouns, adjectives and verbs. How many forms are listed for each? What does each form represent?

How do you tell, from the vocabulary entry, what declension a noun belongs to? What conjugation a verb belongs to?

When translating, consider:

Where is the verb? Is it singular or plural? Is it the kind of verb that takes a direct object, or the kind that often takes a prepositional phrase?

Where are the essential parts of the sentence: the subject, direct object (or prepositional phrase)? Does the word you believe to be the subject match the pluralness/singleness of the verb, and does it make sense as the subject of that verb?
