Latin II New Vocabulary & Irregular Verbs
Happy New Year!
Latin II students have been learning about noun declensions for the latter part of last semester. Now we are back to verbs, but this time irregular verbs. These are verbs which do not follow the standard verb endings we have been learning (-o, -s, -t, -mus, -tis, -nt) although we have noted that there are some hints of the verb endings. Most importantly they need to be memorized. Like regular verbs which carry the root of the verb throughout, irregular verbs do not.
TO BEsum I am
es you are
est he, she, it is
summus we are
estis you are (plural)
sunt they are
TO GO
eo I go
is you go
it he, she, it goes
imus we go
itis you go (plural)
eunt they go
VOCABULARY
Following is the vocabulary list for the third quarter. Some of the words are familiar, others are new. We will have a vocabulary quiz closer to the end of the quarter as well as a review of noun declensions.
NOUNS
ager field, farm
filia daughter

populus nation, the people
puer boy
vir man, hero
hodie today
superbia pride
dona gift
verbum word
ADJECTIVES
