## Grammar introduced in Cap. XXX

1. **Future perfect indicative active** — `-erō, -eris, -erit, -erimus, -eritis, -erint` added to perfect stem.
   - [1] *recitāverō, recitāveris, recitāverit, recitāverimus, recitāveritis, recitāverint*
   - [2] *pāruerō* ... *pāruerint*
   - [3] *scrīpserō* ... *scrīpserint*
   - [4] *audīverō* ... *audīverint*
   - Used in subordinate clauses (esp. *cum prīmum, sī, ubi, postquam, simul ac*) to denote action completed before the main future. Example: *Cum prīmum cocus cēnam parāverit, cēnābimus.* — "As soon as the cook has prepared dinner, we'll dine."
   - Distinguish from perfect subjunctive: identical except 1sg (*-erō* vs *-erim*).

2. **Future perfect indicative passive** — perfect participle + future of *esse*:
   - *laudātus erō, laudātus eris, laudātus erit; laudātī erimus, laudātī eritis, laudātī erunt.*
   - Example: *Pater gaudēbit sī fīlius ā magistrō laudātus erit.*

3. **Distributive numerals**: *singulī, bīnī, ternī, quaternī, quīnī, sēnī*... — "one each, two each..." Used with plurals to express how many to each entity. *In singulīs lectīs bīnī accubant* = "two recline on each couch."

4. **Deponent verbs (review and expansion)**: *fruī* (+abl.), *ūtī* (+abl.), *revertī*. Active meaning, passive form. Watch the case government: *vīnō fruor*, *gladiō ūtor*.

5. **i-stem oddities**: *sitis* takes acc. *sitim*, abl. *sitī* (no -e).

6. **Subjunctive of purpose / cum-clauses (ongoing)**: *Necesse est paulisper famem ferre, dum cibus coquitur*; *cūrō ut colōnī agrōs meōs bene colant*. (No new construction, but heavily used.)

7. **Hortatory subjunctive**: *Bibāmus!* "Let's drink!" *Triclīnium intrēmus!* — 1pl pres. subj. as exhortation.

## Common error patterns

- **Fut-pf vs perf-subj 1sg**: student writes *cum cocus parāverim* — should be *parāverit* (subj.) or *parāverit* in temporal *cum prīmum* + fut-pf indicative. The shapes overlap everywhere except 1sg (*-erō* indic. / *-erim* subj.).
- **English-style future after *cum prīmum / sī*** : *Sī tū veniēs, gaudēbō* — Latin prefers *sī tū vēneris, gaudēbō* (fut-pf in protasis when action precedes apodosis).
- **Deponent voice confusion**: *vīnō fruitur* is correct (act. meaning, depon. form). Student says *vīnum fruitur* — wrong, *fruī* takes ablative. Same with *ūtī*.
- **sitis case forms**: student writes *sitem patī* — should be *sitim patī* (i-stem acc. *-im*).
- ***mel, sāl, carō*** are 3rd-decl. neuters/fems with tricky stems: *mel mellis*, *sāl salis*, *carō carnis*.
- **Distributive vs cardinal**: *duo convīvae* "two guests"; *bīnī convīvae* "two guests each (per couch)." Don't substitute.
- **prīdem** (long ago) vs **prīmum** (first) vs **prīdiē** (day before) — keep separate.

## Exercise menu

1. **Conjugate fut-pf active** (one verb, all six forms): "Give fut-pf of *parāre*." → *parāverō, parāveris, parāverit, parāverimus, parāveritis, parāverint.* Single concept, easy.
2. **PENSVM A single-blank ending**: "Cum cēnam parāv___, vōs vocābō." → *parāverō.* "Cum bene dormīv___, valēbis." → *dormīveris.*
3. **PENSVM B vocab fill-in**: "Servus quī cibum coquit ___ appellātur." → *cocus.* "In ___ sunt trēs lectī." → *triclīniō.*
4. **Deponent drill**: "Conjugate *fruī* present, all 6 persons." → *fruor, frueris, fruitur, fruimur, fruiminī, fruuntur.*
5. **Case after deponent**: "Iūlius ___ (vīnum) fruitur." → *vīnō* (abl.).
6. **Distributive**: "How many guests on each couch (two each)?" → *bīnī convīvae in singulīs lectīs.*
7. **Spot the error**: *Cum prīmum cocus cēnam parāverim, cēnābimus.* → *parāverit* (3sg fut-pf, not 1sg perf-subj).
8. **PENSVM C Q&A**: "Quid est balneum?" → *Balneum est locus ubi corpus lavātur.* "Ex quā māteriā pōcula facta sunt?" → *Pōcula ex argentō facta sunt.*
9. **Translate a hortatory subj sentence**: "Let's drain our cups, friends!" → *Pōcula exhauriāmus, amīcī!*
10. **Parse fut-pf pf-subj**: Identify mood/tense of *parāverit* in context. Student must say either fut-pf indic. (3sg) or pf subj. (3sg) — both possible, choose by context.

## Session start

Bare (`/llpsi-c30`): "Cap. XXX — Convivivm. The dinner-party chapter: lots of food/drink vocab plus the future perfect (active and passive). Where do you want to start — fut-pf, dinner vocab, deponents (*fruī, ūtī*), or distributives (*singulī, bīnī, ternī*)?"
