second principal part : ambulo, ambulare
- Can be used as a noun in a sentence

complex ideas

Conjunctions
Cum
- “When”
-
- Yes, it can mean “When”
Ok, don’t panic
When you see “Cum” without an ablative
immediately following it… then it means “When”
This is called a Cum Clause
There are other ways to translate Cum, but they are
not a concern until we learn more about the
Subjunctive mood
Sum, esse
