INTERJECTIONS – an exclamation that has no grammatical impact on surrounding sentences or phrases. your Latin teacher can only ask two things about an interjection: what does it mean and what part of speech it is. Darn! Latin is almost over. Alas, I will miss Latin. Hurray! I will be in Latin III soon. Give the English for the Latin Interjections below. eheū:__________ ecce:__________ euge:__________ heus:__________ 2. NOUNS – person, place, thing, or idea Nouns have three qualities: ______________, ______________, and ______________. Nouns in Latin are grouped into five families or ___________________. Nouns are declined into various cases, because Latin is inflected. Hint: Your teacher might ask about a noun’s number, gender, or case. You might also be asked about the reason that a noun is in a case – that will be discussed in Part III. List the six cases in order here: Latin II Final Exam Study Guide 2014-2015 When you learn a Latin noun, you learn four things: nominative, genitive, gender, definition. aula, aulae f palace puer, puerī m boy ordō, ordinis m row equus, equī m horse saxum, saxī n rock mare, maris n sea manus, manūs f hand effigiēs, effigiēī f statue To decline a noun, you must know its declension number and stem.

Masculine, feminine and neuter nouns. *Handy – get it???

Latin II Final Exam Study Guide 2014-2015 3. PRONOUNS – take the place of a noun Whenever you learn a new pronoun, you learn 30 forms! Each pronoun has a masculine, feminine, and neuter form in each case. You did a lot of work this year just learning pronouns! Use the word bank to help you the type of pronoun, and be certain that you can decline each pronoun in the word bank. aliquis, aliquid iste, ista, istud tū/vōs ipse, ispa, ipsum no nominative forms is, ea, id hic, haec, hoc ego/nōs ille, illa, illud Demonstrative pronouns: __________________________________ Intensive pronoun: __________________________________ Personal pronouns: __________________________________ Reflexive pronoun: __________________________________ Relative pronoun: __________________________________ 4. ADJECTIVES – modify nouns Adjectives, like nouns, have three qualities: _____________, _____________, and _____________. Adjectives are that friend who ALWAYS agrees with you. Do you want ketchup on your Chinese food? So does the adjective modifying you. Do you want to jump off a cliff? So does the adjective modifying you. An adjective will ALWAYS agree with the noun that it modifies in what ways? We have seen two types of adjectives. First / Second declension adjectives like miser, -a, -um. These are the easiest, because they decline like 1st and 2nd declension nouns. Third declension adjectives like fortis, forte or ingens. All third declension adjectives are i-stems! Latin II Final Exam Study Guide 2014-2015 miser misera miserum facilis facile Nom Gen Dat Acc Abl Voc Nom Gen Dat Acc Abl Voc You will practice noun-adjective agreement in Part III. Adjectives have degrees. To form the comparative adjective, add ___________ to the base of the positive for the masculine/feminine form. To form the superlative, add ___________ to the base of the positive. o If an adjective ends in –er, form the superlative by adding ___________ to the nominative. Positive/Base Comparative Superlative īrātus, īrāta, īrātum ____________________ ____________________ miser, misera, miserum ____________________ ____________________ pulcher, pulchra, pulchra ____________________ ____________________ fortis, forte ____________________ ____________________ ingens ____________________ ____________________ Latin II Final Exam Study Guide 2014-2015 Some adjectives have an irregular comparison. Positive/Base Comparative Superlative bonus-a-um ____________________ ____________________ malus-a-um ____________________ ____________________ magnus-a-um ____________________ ____________________ parvus-a-um ____________________ ____________________ 5. PREPOSITIONS – shows relationships (in time or space) between a noun (or pronoun) and another part of the sentence. There are about 50 Latin prepositions, but stop worrying. First, English has 150 prepositions – so suddenly Latin just got a whole lot easier! Second, you only need to know about a dozen Latin prepositions. Give the English for the prepositions below. a/ab __________ dē __________ inter __________ prope _________ ad __________ ē/ex __________ per __________ sine __________ apud __________ in __________ post __________ cum__________ in __________ pro __________ There is an added twist to prepositions – the object of the preposition (OOP). This will be discussed more in Part III. Ablative prepositions: Is it a Sid P Space preposition? Is it part of the ablative cheer? Then it is followed by an ablative! cum, ex, ē IN may be followed by the accusative or the ablative. Don’t forget that it means different things with each case. sine, pro, prae in villā - _______________ Take the ablatae! in villam - _______________ Ablative Cheer Sine In Dē Pro Sub Prae A/ab Cum Ē/ex a, ab, dē, Latin II Final Exam Study Guide 2014-2015 6. CONJUNCTIONS – a word that joins or connects other words, phrases, or clauses et _____________ quamquam ____________ sed _____________ postquam _____________ quod_____________ sicut _____________ quod and postquam introduce dependent (subordinate) clauses. Name those two clauses. _____________________________ and _____________________________ 7. ADVERBS – modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Cerberus quite loudly barked at the very sleepy cook. (loudly modifies the verb; quite modifies the adverb; very modifies the adjective) Some adverbs are formed from adjectives. And – like adjectives – adverb have degrees. Adjective Positive adverb Comparative adv Superlative adv īrātus, īrāta, īrātum _________________ _________________ _________________ miser, misera, miserum _________________ _________________ _________________ pulcher, pulchra, pulchra _________________ _________________ _________________ dulcis, dulce _________________ _________________ _________________ neglegens _________________ _________________ _________________ Some adjectives have an irregular comparison. Adjective Positive adverb Comparative adv bonus-a-um _________________ _________________ _________________ malus-a-um _________________ _________________ _________________ magnus-a-um _________________ _________________ _________________ parvus-a-um _________________ _________________ _________________ quam + superlative adverb = as ____ as possible parvus canis quam ferocissimē latrat. Superlative adv Latin II Final Exam Study Guide 2014-2015 Some adverbs are not formed from adjectives. These words were learned as vocabulary. Make sure you know all of these adverbs! cotidiē iam num? saepe tandem cūr igitur semper tum deinde ita numqua m simulac ubi diū ita vērō valde etiam iterum paulisper simulatq ue heri mox postrīdiē statim hodiē nōn quam subitō hūc nonne? quoque tamen nunc 8. VERBS Verbs have FIVE qualities: ____________________, ____________________, ____________________, _____________________, and _____________________. Translate the following verbs. amat: ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ amābat: ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ amāvit: ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ amāverat: ______________________________ Latin II Final Exam Study Guide 2014-2015 Practice forming verbs with the ever exciting verb game! Study the verb chart below. The top left box shows the 1st person singular forms of amāre in the present, imperfect, perfect, and pluperfect. Go down one box, and find the forms of the 2nd person singular. Roll a die. If you get a one, work with amāre; a two uses habēre, a three uses ducere; a four uses sentīre; a five uses capere; and a six uses esse. Roll the die again. A one means to give the first person singular forms…a five means to give the 2nd person plural forms. This is a great game to practice with a Latin friend! amō amābam amāvī amāveram amās amābās amāvistī amāverās amat amābat amāvit amāverat amāmus amābāmus amāvimus amāverāmus amātis amābātis amāvistis amāverātis amant amābant amāvērunt amāverant habeō habēbam habuī habueram habēs habēbās habuistī habuerās habet habēbat habuit habuerat habēmus habēbāmus habuimus habuerāmus habētis habēbātis habuistis habuerātis habent habēbant habuērunt habuerant ducō ducēbam duxī duxeram ducis ducēbās duxistī duxerās ducit ducēbat duxit duxerat ducimus ducēbāmus duximus duxerāmus ducitis ducēbātis duxistis duxerātis ducunt ducēbant duxērunt duxerant capiō capiēbam cepī ceperam capis capiēbās cepistī ceperās capit capiēbat cepit ceperat capimus capiēbāmus cepimus ceperāmus capitis capiēbātis cepistis ceperātis capiunt capiēbant cepērunt ceperant 10 sentiō sentiēbam sensī senseram sentīs sentiēbās sensistī senserās sentit sentiēbat sensit senserat sentīmus sentiēbāmus sensimus senserāmus sentītis sentiēbātis sensistis senserātis sentiunt sentiēbant sensērunt senserant sum eram fuī fueram es erās fuistī fuerās est erat fuit fuerat sumus erāmus fuimus fuerāmus estis erātis fuistis fuerātis sunt erant fuērunt fuerant Latin II Final Exam Study Guide 2014-2015 Now try the same game with the irregular verbs!

But I have a question! In English, we know that someone is asking a question, because word order is changed. Sentence: The mother scolds her son. Question: __________________________________________________ In Latin, word order stays the same, but ______ is added to the first word of the sentence to make a yes or no question. Sentence: māter fīlium vituperat.

The trick is to engage your brain in the process. Don’t treat this as a vocabulary exercise – it is a grammar exercise. The answers are online. If you have difficulty accessing the Internet at home, your teacher will ensure that you have the time to check your work at school. Section I 1. We wanted to inspect the fields and slaves. 2.
