Partially correct: A heavily modified part of the AP text and several non-AP passages in the Henle II text are studied at the end of the Henle II year. The Mueller text is studied after the Henle II year. Mueller focuses ONLY on AP passages (and some English summaries of other parts). But yes, the Mueller...Last edited by Bonnie; Yesterday, 02:55 PM.

Mrs Bee The Henle II student guide is meant to follow Henle I or the Forms and to be done at home before a year of studying the AP selections from Caesar (Mueller). It covers all 32 lessons, the Christian Latin section, and part of the Caesar readings (about 8 weeks). Homeschoolers can then spend a...

(Ubi terrarum est “edit button”?) I hope I did not leave the impression above that only intransitive verbs have a future participle active in –urus. This form is used in transitive verbs as well.

You might want to read the NOTE on p. 326 of Henle I. He sums up the way in which he gives the form of the fourth principal part in intransitive and defective verbs.

I'm not sure whether you are asking what the -urus form is generally or why it is particularly given for those verbs. Have a look at Henle Grammar 156. The future participle active is formed by changing the -us of the perfect participle passive to -urus; this has active meaning. It is translated, about...

Harvard Latin Salutatory
I thought others might enjoy the Latin salutatory from the 2023 Harvard Commencement. Once you listen, it will come as no surprise that this young man had been a homeschooler whose parents provided him a classical education. (Closed Caption for English subtitles.)

I had already typed this when I saw Tanya's post. I will go ahead and post this at the risk of being repetitive.
The Student Guide is new. The tests and quizzes are new. The student guide can also serve as a teacher guide. It specifies exactly what the student should do in each daily lesson,...

I think the idea was that it was simpler to teach young Latin students that all vowels tended to be long, rather than also asking them to recall that e has a short sound. Yes, e is short like let, met -- in the esse forms, in et, in Exsultet, etc., etc. It has a pure e sound; it's not a diphthong, there...

I’ll give you some vocabulary options so you can choose what you like:
Listen to/Hear attentively, Son, the precepts of the/your teacher/master and incline the ear of your heart, and cheerfully/willingly take up and effectually/efficaciously/effectively (fulfill) the advice of your merciful/loving...

I think that Mrs. Bee captured the essence of prepositions, in that they act like adjectives or adverbs. But the part of speech is more fully understood within the idea of the prepositional phrase – which is a word group with the prep., its object, and any modifiers within. The idea that “prepositions...Last edited by Bonnie; 03-11-2023, 08:29 AM.

I would say that you are in good company in not particularly enjoying English to Latin work. Most people find it more difficult than Latin to English work, but a certain amount is valuable. Now you will always remember that iter and flumen are neuter. The whole exercise contains about a dozen neuter...

The nominative and accusative forms for neuter adjectives and nouns are identical. In 7 and 8, rivers and journey are not accusatives; they are nominative. In #9, march is accusative. You could review neuter adjective forms in Grammar 72-78. Flumen and iter are neuter nouns.Last edited by Bonnie; 02-13-2023, 02:31 PM.

She impresses me as being diligent and conscientious in desiring to do things correctly. Maybe you can just re-direct her attention to detail and encourage her to be a little more flexible about procedure. It will serve her well in learning Latin, which is an art, not a science.
You are...

I think this sentence is just showing the student that the direct object may precede the subject. The direct object would not be placed before the subject for no reason; there are different reasons that an author might depart from "normal" word order. Here, I would say that the unusual order...Last edited by Bonnie; 12-14-2022, 12:09 PM.

You’re welcome. Although oro certainly is considered a verb of saying and implies speech (and is even listed as speak in some dictionaries) it will generally not work for the student to translate it as speak. In classical Latin it has the meaning beseech, entreat, pray, beg, implore, etc. To fill out...Last edited by Bonnie; 12-14-2022, 10:26 AM.
