Unit 2 - LATN 101 - F22
Unit 2 - Structures within sentences and more verbs
Narrative Overview
In Unit 1, we learned how verbs and nouns conjugate and decline to create meaning and structure in Latin sentences. In Unit 2, we will continue to practice these skills in the context of more complicated syntax, with a particular focus on the different ways that Latin expresses time and place.
We will begin by learning about prepositional phrases and how they can add meaning to Latin verbal expressions. We will build directly on this by looking how Latin uses these and other constructions to express place and time.
We will then move on to look in more detail at pronouns, learning about their intensive and reflexive forms.
Finally, we study a few different verbal formations. We will learn about the present tense verbs as well as a few more irregular verbs.
Objectives
By the end of this unit, you will be able to:
- Identify expressions of time using the accusative and ablative case
- Identify all persons of the present, imperfect, and perfect indicative in both active and passive voices
- Analyze different uses of pronouns
- Translate more complex Latin sentences
