## Grammar introduced in Cap. XII
|
||||
|
||||
1. **3rd-declension adjectives (-is, -e)** — same forms for masc. and fem.; neut. -e (sg.), -ia (pl.). Decline like *brevis*:
|
||||
|
||||
| | M./F. sg | N. sg | M./F. pl | N. pl |
|
||||
|-------|----------|-------|----------|-------|
|
||||
| nom. | brevis | breve | brevēs | brevia |
|
||||
| acc. | brevem | breve | brevēs | brevia |
|
||||
| gen. | brevis | brevis | brevium | brevium |
|
||||
| dat. | brevī | brevī | brevibus | brevibus |
|
||||
| abl. | brevī | brevī | brevibus | brevibus |
|
||||
|
||||
Note abl. sg. **-ī** (not -e) and gen. pl. **-ium**, nom./acc. n. pl. **-ia**. So declined: *brevis, fortis, gravis, levis, tenuis, trīstis*.
|
||||
- *Pedes fortis gladium brevem et levem fert.* / *Eques hastam longam et gravem fert.*
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Comparative degree (-ior, -ius)** — 3rd decl., but **no -ium/-ia**! abl. sg. **-e** (not -ī).
|
||||
|
||||
| | M./F. sg | N. sg | M./F. pl | N. pl |
|
||||
|-------|-----------|---------|-------------|-------------|
|
||||
| nom. | altior | altius | altiōrēs | altiōra |
|
||||
| acc. | altiōrem | altius | altiōrēs | altiōra |
|
||||
| gen. | altiōris | altiōris| altiōrum | altiōrum |
|
||||
| dat. | altiōrī | altiōrī | altiōribus | altiōribus |
|
||||
| abl. | altiōre | altiōre | altiōribus | altiōribus |
|
||||
|
||||
- *Hic mūrus altior est quam ille.* / *Hoc vāllum altius est quam illud.*
|
||||
- "than" = ***quam*** + same case as the thing compared.
|
||||
- *Gladius equitis longior et gravior est quam gladius peditis.*
|
||||
|
||||
3. **4th declension** — new declension. Mostly masc. (one fem.: *manus*).
|
||||
|
||||
| | sg. | pl. |
|
||||
|-------|------------|--------------|
|
||||
| nom. | exercitus | exercitūs |
|
||||
| acc. | exercitum | exercitūs |
|
||||
| gen. | exercitūs | exercituum |
|
||||
| dat. | exercituī | exercitibus |
|
||||
| abl. | exercitū | exercitibus |
|
||||
|
||||
Watch: nom.sg. *-us*, gen.sg. *-ūs*, nom.pl. *-ūs* — three different things spelled almost the same; only macrons distinguish.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Dative + sum = "have"**: *Mārcō ūna soror est* = *Mārcus ūnam sorōrem habet.* / *Patrī et mātrī ūna fīlia et duo fīliī sunt.*
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Dative with *pārēre, imperāre, metuere*** (well, *metuere* takes acc.; *pārēre/imperāre* + dat.): *exercitus ducī suō pāret*; *dux exercituī imperat*.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Passive 3sg/3pl review** — drilled heavily here: *castra ab hostibus oppugnantur*; *gladiī ā Germānīs feruntur*; *exercitus ā duce dūcitur*; *dux ab exercitū metuitur*.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Plūrāle tantum**: *arma -ōrum* n. pl., *castra -ōrum* n. pl. (camp). No singular form. *Castra sunt mīlitum oppidum.*
|
||||
|
||||
8. **mīlle vs. mīlia**: *mīlle* indecl. adj. (sg.: *mīlle passūs*); *mīlia* n. pl. noun + gen. partitive (*duo mīlia mīlitum*, *quīnque mīlia pedum*).
|
||||
|
||||
## Common error patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- **3rd-decl. adj. neut. nom/acc pl.**: student says *pīla brevēs et levēs* — should be *brevia et levia*. Neuter pl. = -ia.
|
||||
- **Adj. abl. sg.**: student says *gladiō breve* — should be *gladiō brevī*. Adj. abl.sg. is -ī, not -e.
|
||||
- **Comparative abl. sg.**: student says *gladiō longiōrī* — should be *gladiō longiōre*. Comparatives drop to -e.
|
||||
- **Comparative neut.**: student says *pīlum brevior* — should be *brevius*. Neut. nom/acc sg. = -ius, not -ior.
|
||||
- **4th-decl. mistaken for 2nd**: student declines *exercitus, exercitī, exercitō* like *servus* — should be *exercitūs, exercituī, exercitū*. Especially gen. sg. (long ū vs. -ī).
|
||||
- **manus is FEMININE**: *manus magnus* — should be *manus magna*.
|
||||
- ***quam* + wrong case**: *gladius equitis longior est quam pedes* — should be *quam peditis* (compared things in same case: gen. vs. gen.).
|
||||
- ***mīlle* vs. *mīlia* + gen.**: *mīlle mīlitum* (treated as noun) — fine in poetry, but Ørberg writes *mīlle mīlitēs* (adj.) and *duo mīlia mīlitum* (noun + partitive gen.). Don't say *mīlia mīlitēs*.
|
||||
- **Acc. of plūrāle tantum**: student says *castrum* — there is no singular. *Rōmānī castra dēfendunt.*
|
||||
- **Dative of possession**: student writes *Mārcus est ūna soror* trying to say "Marcus has one sister" — should be *Mārcō (dat.) ūna soror est*.
|
||||
- ***pārēre/imperāre* + acc.**: student says *exercitus ducem pāret* — should be *ducī pāret* (dat.).
|
||||
- ***ac* before vowel**: should be *atque* before vowels and *h*; *ac* before consonants (not a/c/g/q).
|
||||
|
||||
## Exercise menu
|
||||
|
||||
Order roughly easiest → hardest. Open with #1 or #2.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Single-blank ending (PENSVM A-style, 3rd-decl. adj. or 4th-decl. noun)**: "Pīlum ē man__ iacitur." → *manū.* "Mīlitēs in castr__ habitant." → *castrīs.*
|
||||
2. **Decline a 3rd-decl. adj. with a noun (sg. only first)**: "Decline *gladius brevis* sg." → *gladius brevis, gladium breve, gladiī brevis, gladiō brevī, gladiō brevī.* (Then plural if going well.)
|
||||
3. **Decline a 4th-decl. noun**: "Decline *exercitus* sg + pl." → standard table above.
|
||||
4. **Comparative form drill**: "Comparative of *longus*?" → *longior, longius.* "Of *fortis*?" → *fortior, fortius.* Then in a phrase: "longer (acc. m. sg.) sword" → *gladium longiōrem.*
|
||||
5. **Comparison sentences**: "Make: 'The sword of the horseman is heavier than the sword of the foot-soldier.'" → *Gladius equitis gravior est quam gladius peditis.*
|
||||
6. **PENSVM A-style fill-in (mixed)**: "Pīlum nōn tam grav__ est quam hasta. Hastae long__ et grav__ sunt quam pīla." → *grave, longiōrēs, graviōrēs.*
|
||||
7. **Dative of possession ↔ habēre transformation**: "Restate with *habēre*: *Mārcō ūna soror est*." → *Mārcus ūnam sorōrem habet.* And reverse.
|
||||
8. **Passive transformation**: "Make passive: *Hostēs castra oppugnant*." → *Castra ab hostibus oppugnantur.*
|
||||
9. **Spot the error**: "Eques gladiō longiōrī pugnat." → comparative abl.sg. is -e: *gladiō longiōre*. Or: "Pīla brevēs et levēs sunt." → neut. pl. *brevia et levia*.
|
||||
10. **PENSVM C Q&A**: "Quae arma pedes Rōmānus fert?" → *Pedes Rōmānus scūtum, gladium et pīlum fert.* "Quam longum est pīlum Aemiliī?" → *Sex pedēs longum est.*
