Iterum 3/31

Iterum 3/31
Warm-up
·         Conjugate in the imperfect tense:
o    compleō, complēre, complēvī, complētus

Imperfect
Singular
Plural
1st Person
complēbam
complēbāmus
2nd Person
complēbās
complēbātis
3rd Person

Imperfect
Singular
Plural
1st Person
mittēbam
mittēbāmus
2nd Person

§  3rd conjugation verbs follow the same rules for conjugating the imperfect tense: get the present stem by taking the –re off the 2nd principal part, add ba & endings
o   The vowel before the ba is always long. This is not affected by the fact that the e in mittere is short.
Jargon
  • Perfect Stem: the 3rd principal part minus the –ī
    • E.g. Amō, amāre, amāvī, amātus
      • perfect stem = amāv-
    • Remember, Star Wars is a Trilogy!
Notes
·         Steps for conjugating the perfect tense:
o    Step 1: find the perfect stem
§  (take the -i off the 3rd principal part)
o    Step 2: put the stem in EVERY box
o    Step 3: add perfect endings
§  (star wars)
o    Step 4: bask in your GLORY

  • You will conjugate 1 word in the imperfect tense and 1 word in the perfect tense.
  • You will also be asked to translate some forms (i.e. audiēbāmus = we were hearing)
    • Nota Bene: definition ≠ translation.
    • Translation includes:
      • the pronoun to express the subject: I, you, he, etc.
      • any helping verb to express tense: is, was, did, etc.
      • the definition of the word
      • + possibly a verb suffix: -ing, -ed

Symbolum Apostolorum

·         Apostle’s Creed
o    We’re going to do the Creed a little bit at a time and build up to the whole thing.

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae. Et in Iesum
Christum, Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum, qui conceptus est de Spiritu
Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et
sepultus, descendit ad infernos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis, ascendit ad caelos,
sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est iudicare vivos et
mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum
communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam.
Amen.
Examen V: Stages 10 & 11
  • Let’s review your last test.
    • Avg. = 91
  • Make sure that you’re using your review properly!
    • Don’t use any notes or your book the first time through.
    • Check your answers against the KEY.
    • Make sure that you understand anything you got wrong/didn’t remember the first time.
    • Come see me before or after school to go over unclear concepts.
·         Culture
o    This was the weakest section on the last 2 tests. (Historically, this has been a very strong section for Latin students.)
§  Read the culture info in the book & review the culture workbook pages.
§  Make sure you know the phrases of the day.
§  Many of the culture questions also come from the stories themselves.
    • #2 - Teachers were slaves from Greece.
      • This is in the model sentences & “controversia” story in Stage 10 in addition to the culture info section.
    • #3 - Science was not taught in ancient schools
    • #8 - Aediles were the elected officials who supervised the markets, police force, baths, etc.
    • #12 - Fautores are the political supporters.
  • Reading Comprehension
    • Always focus on what you do know, not what you don’t know. After that, just make educated guesses.
    • #2 & 7 - translate thermas
    • #5 What possible gifts did Metella suggest?
      • vos quaeritis libros? tunicas? tubam? (line 9)
        • Don’t leave this blank just because you don’t know the definition of “tubam.” I gave partial credit for the word ‘tuba.’
    • #9 & 10 - let’s look at the last paragraph together
·         Sentence Analysis:
o    #9. magnos fustos habemus. What degree of comparison is magnos?
o    There were 2 questions about personal pronouns on the review and 2 (#8 & 10) on the test. (p. 149 & 187)
o    #4. “Quartus et frater Holconio favent.” What case is Holconio?
§  This is the same as #4 on the review: “nos Lucio favemus” What case is Lucio?
Notes
  • Translate these sentences:
    • Metella Grumiōnem laudat.
    • Clēmēns vīnum portat.
    • mercātōrēs agricolīs respondent.
    • Quārtus Holcōniō favet.
  • Write down a description of the differences between the two sentence groups:
    • Metella Grumiōnem laudat. - Group A
    • Clēmēns vīnum portat. - Group A
    • mercātōrēs agricolīs respondent. - Group B
    • Quārtus Holcōniō favet. - Group B
·         In a sense, the sentences in Group B have dative words receiving the action (dative direct objects)
o    Quārtus Holcōniō favet.
o    Quartus supports Holconius.
·        this is known as a verb “taking the dative”
·        verbs that take the dative will have this information in their principal parts:
o    faveō, favēre, fāvī, fautus + DAT (see p. 200)
