Description of the Latin II Curriculum Units
This section contains descriptions of the material covered in each unit of the Latin II
Curriculum. Numbers contained in parentheses represent the Power Standards for Latin II
addressed by the course material.
A significant number of teacher-crafted handouts, worksheets and assessments can be found
in the section labeled Materials following the description of each unit. These materials are
provided merely as examples. It is assumed that Latin teachers will exercise their
professional judgment in deciding whether to use the supplied materials or to use their own,
similar materials. Please note that if teachers wish to use these handouts, special care should
be taken before photocopying to properly put in by hand long marks over Ablative Singulars
of the first declension and infinitives of the second conjugation.

UNIT I: Review of Latin I material and completion of Perfect Active System
Students will review the endings and vocabulary learned in Latin I. This entails a full-scale
review of all noun forms (1st through 3rd declension) and verb forms (1st through 4th
conjugations, and sum). 3rd declension nouns, 2nd declension neuters, and 3rd through 4th
conjugations should represent the majority of needed review (1.1, 1.3, 2.1). The Proserpina
and Ceres myth as presented in Latin for Americans can be used to review many (but not all)
of these constructions, and opens the door to further discussion of etiological myths (those
that explain some aspect of the natural world) of the Romans and Greeks (1.2). Review of
the forms of sum and of the perfect tense will allow a seamless transition to the pluperfect
and future perfect tenses.
The review material in this unit will also serve to re-acquaint students with the
grammar terminology necessary for success in Latin (1.3). The completion of the Perfect
Active System- namely, the temporally complex Pluperfect and Future Perfect tenses with
their auxiliary verb + participle formulae in English- may be an eye-opener for some
students, who in our professional experience have been known to doubt the grammaticality of
these tenses. Mastery of these tenses in English because of their nuanced temporal meanings
is a necessity for higher order thinking and further academic pursuits (6.5).
Students will be expected to keep a section of their binder or notebook as a “reference
area” for the rest of the year. Here they will keep those significant tasks that model the
7
paradigms for which they are responsible for the remainder of Latin II, including the verb
synopses and noun forms which are the significant tasks for this unit.

Supplemental Handout
Vocabulary:
All vocabulary from Lessons 1 - 19 must be learned. I advise you to make
flashcards for yourself- you will be your own best study partner!
Forms: Present Tense- Use the 2nd principal part to get the present stem. Add the o, s, t,
mus, tis, nt endings.
1st
2nd
3rd
laudare: laudadocere: doceponere: pone- DROP the -e- from the stem!
laudo, laudas, laudat, etc. doceo, doces, docet, etc.
pono, ponis, ponit,ponimus, ponitis, ponunt Note the -u- in the 3rd pl!!
4th
venire:
veni-
3rd-io
capere: capeLOOKS like a 4th conj. verb!
venio, venis, venit,
capio, capis, capit,
venimus, venitis, veniunt
capimus, capitis, capiunt
Note the -iu- in the 3rd plural for both!
Future Tense- Get the present stem. But be careful!
For 1 and 2, use bo, bis, bit, bimus, bitis, bunt:
laudare:
laudalaudabo, laudabis, etc.
docere: docedocebo, docebis, etc.
For 3, 4, and 3rd-io, use the hAM and Eggs rule:
ponere:
(Hint: Ones and twos use bo, bi, bu’s!)
pone-
(Hint: Fours and threes use A’s and E’s!)
venire: veni-
ponam, pones, ponet,
ponemus, ponetis, ponent
veniam, venies, veniet,
veniemus, venietis, venient
capere:
cape-
capiam, capies, capiet,
capiemus, capietis, capient
Remember: 3rd-io Looks like 4th!
Perfect Tense: For any verb, use the 3rd principal part and the endings:
-i
-imus
-isti
-istis
-it
-erunt
e.g.,
for laudo, laudare, laudavi, laudatus- praise we get
12
laudaviI have praised, I did praise, I praised
laudavistiyou have praised, etc.
laudavithe has praised
laudavimus- we have praised
laudavistisy’all have praised
laudaverunt- they have praised
Imperfect Tense:
The imperfect tense is built from the present stem (2nd principal
part),and is identified by the following endings:
-bam -bamus
-bas -batis
-bat -bant
Each conjugation forms the Imperfect Tense a bit differently:
1st
laudare- stem: laudalaudabam- I was praising, I used to praise,
I kept on praising
2nd
docere- stem: docedocebam- I was teaching, I used to teach,
I kept on teaching
3rd
ponere- stem: pone4th
venire- stem: veniNote the addition of -e-!!!!
ponebam- I was putting, I used to put
veniebam - I was coming
3rd-io verbs look just like 4th-
capere-
capiebam- I was taking
IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS or: IDIOMS
In Latin, words often change meaning when they are used in certain ways.
Look at all the different translations of agere in these phrases:
equum agere -
to drive a horse
praedam agere -
to carry off loot
multum agere -
to do much
gratias agere -
to give thanks to (+ dative case)
causam agere -
to plead a case (in court)
vitam agere -
to live a life
de (+ abl. case) agere -
to talk about
13
:
Here are some others
gratiam habere -
to feel grateful
bellum gerere -
to wage war
castra ponere -
to pitch camp
viam munire -
to build a road
memoria tenere -
to remember
consilium capere -
to adopt a plan
QUESTIONS
In Latin, as in English, questions often start with a question word:
Ubi est? Where is it? Quid facis? What are you doing?
Cur cedis? Why are you going?
In both languages, we can also ask questions that do not begin with a question word. In Latin
we add -ne to the first word of such a question.
Venisne? Are you coming? Viditne magistrum? Did he see the teacher?
Similarly, we can ask questions that suggest we expect a “yes” answer. In Latin we start the
question with Nonne. (Do not try to translate nonne, though!)
Nonne venis?
Nonne magistrum vidit?
You’re coming, aren’t you?
He saw the teacher, didn’t he?
And we can ask questions that suggest we expect a “no” answer. In Latin we start the
question with Num. (Do not try to translate num, though!)
Num venis?
Num magistrum vidit?
You’re not coming, are you?
He didn’t see the teacher, did he?
