Section 1: General Language Notes
Section 3: Grammar Notes
Section 2: Notes by Part of Speech
Section 4: Practice Sentences
General Language Notes:

Three key consonants to remember are ____ and ____ and ____.
Vowels may be long or short. Long vowels are marked with _______________. When two
vowels make one sound, the sound is called a _______________.
Language Notes: There are ____ parts of speech. Students should, however, note that
pronouns and adjectives were given the most attention this year.
1. 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.
To determine a noun’s declension number, look at the _______________.
To determine a noun’s stem, look at the _______________.
If the genitive ends in ____, it is a 1st declension noun. Remove the ending to find the stem.
If the genitive ends in ____, it is a 2nd declension noun. Remove the ending to find the stem.
If the genitive ends in____, it is a 3rd declension noun. Remove the ending to find the stem.

If the genitive ends in____, it is a 5th declension noun. Remove the ending to find the stem.
You MUST learn the gender of each noun. You will not understand noun-adjective

Here’s a handy* trick:
Hold up your hand.
Wiggle your thumb and pinky. Feminine nouns with a few masculine.
Wiggle your pointer and ring fingers. Masculine and neuter nouns.
Carefully wiggle your middle finger. Masculine, feminine and neuter nouns.

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!

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!

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!

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.
