Synopsis

Master Latin grammar with clear explanations of verb forms, tenses, and syntax.

This reference introduces the building blocks of Latin verbs, including the Present and Perfect stems, the Participial System, and the endings that mark mood, tense, voice, number, and person. It also explains how verbs relate to other parts of speech, such as adjectives and pronouns, and how these elements combine in real Latin usage. The material covers the major conjugations, principal parts, and variations found across different verb classes, along with guidance on forming and recognizing common patterns.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The work now offered to the public is intended especially for those who do not contemplate a collegiate course of study, but it may be successfully used in any school where for special reasons a small Grammar is deemed desirable. The instruments of education must of course be readjusted from time to time to the ever-changing methods in school and college. Accordingly the prime object of this volume is to adapt the wort of instruction to present methods and present needs. In view of the heavy demands now made on the time of classical teachers and students a special effort has been made to develop the practical side of grammar, to make it as helpful as possible to the teacher in the difficult task of explaining the force of involved constructions in Latin authors, and as helpful as possible to the learner in his early efforts to understand and appreciate thoughl; in the strange garb of a complicated Latin sentence. Simplicity and clearness, ever of paramount importance in the work of the class-room, have received special attention. The leading principles of construction have been put in the form of definite rules or laws, and illustrated by carefully selected examples from Latin authors, a mode of treatment perfectly consistent with scientific accuracy, and sanctioned by the general experience of teachers as in the highest degree helpful to the pupil. Moreover, to secure convenience of reference and to give completeness and vividness to the general outline, these laws of the language after having been separately discussed are presented in a body at the close of the syntax.
