Latin II
Tense Timelines
Step One: On a piece of construction paper, write out the following tenses in a timeline arranged
by WHEN the actions of the verb tense are happening in time
Latin
Present
Future
Perfect
Imperfect
Step 2: Cut and arrange the sentences on the 2nd page underneath the correct tense using only
your brain- no notes, no dictionary, etc. DO NOT GLUE THEM YET.
Step 3: Write WHEN the action of the tenses is happening for each tense
Step 4: After you have compared your sheet with the one I put on the board, glue your cut out
sentences underneath the correct tense if they were not already in the right place
Step 5: Translate the sentences in the blank space (write small). You may use notes and
dictionaries for this step if you need/want.
Step 6: Put your corrected and completed timeline in your binder/translation notebook as a
reference for translating/tense ID once we have reviewed it.
Ex: Once completely finished, your sheet will look like this for each sentence:
