Preface 'Repetitio mater studiorum est' 'Repetition is the mother of all learning' and also the mother of confidence, satisfaction and achieving good results that follow you throughout life. But to do that, is not as easy as it sounds. You have to develop a specific strategy that will not let you down on the exam day. This handbook is aimed at being a simple but efficient synopsis of all the grammar and syntax points that are required for the GCSE in Latin Language. It is designed for students in Year 11, but also for people who want to taste what Latin is all about. It might, however, be suitable as a resource for teachers who wish to teach their students following the way that it helped me to learn this highly inflected language; by using tables, diagrams and notes, all in nice memorable 'boxes'. By cracking down every topic and trying to put it into 'boxes' on a piece of paper, it is much easier to put it into your mind. It is better than a whole bunch of words trying to explain you something (even with examples most of the times). In this book, you will find 'maps' of the most important things that you should carry with you during the fascinating journey to the language of the centurions and gladiators. Writing this book, I had in my mind even the weakest student who struggles with endings and muddles the declensions with conjugations by declining verbs and conjugating nouns. I had drawn the same visual material as if I was sitting next to this student trying to explain him/ her through an easy and fully understanding way, how to deal with the topics and also to retain this knowledge. Moreover, I had given him/ her some tips and advice about some aspects of the topics, not very clear sometimes, by using the margins of the page. So, you can find them in the dotted boxes as well. Another challenging part of the GCSE in Latin is the vocabulary that students have to learn (yes, by heart as well). I made an effort to respond to this

challenge by separating the words in their 'families', having them with their friends and relatives. The aim of this is double: first of all, the students can understand better the groups in which the nouns, adjectives, verbs etc. are separated and, secondly, to learn the words by their families (first declension nouns for example, in -a, -ae for today, two termination adjectives for tomorrow and goes on...). It should be a plain sailing now and, unfortunately, with no excuses. This book came out as a result of my teaching experience with KS3, KS4 and A-Level students of the Thornleigh Salesian College in Bolton, United Kingdom. I am grateful to David Banner for reading the draft of the book and pointed out some faults and errors with patience and kindness, being, above all, a real friend.

Checklist for your revision about Grammar points

Iraklis Lampadariou

Verbs vs Nouns Before starting our revision, we need to develop a special code for describing or referring to grammar or syntax points. This code is called Terminology and it is all about terms (words and compound words or even expressions with many words that in specific contexts are given specific meaning). Unfortunately, there is no other way to learn a language without knowing the terms and lots of stuff by heart - yes, by heart!

conjugations

cases (Nom., Voc., Acc., Gen., Dat., Abl.)

(1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, mixed) persons (1st, 2nd, 3rd singular, 1st, 2nd, 3rd plural)

stem

moods (indicative, subjunctive, imperative)

declensions (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th)

Verbs

tenses (Present, Imperfect, Future, Perfect, Pluperfect, Future Perfect)

genders (masculine, feminine, neuter, common)

Nouns voices (active, passive)

stem numbers (singular, plural)

numbers (singular, plural)

Let's give a definition for each of those terms now... conjugation: family or group of verbs that share the same endings person: who is doing the verb (I, You-sg., He, She, It, We, You-pl., They, or a noun when it replaces one of these)

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

mood: indicates if the action of the verb is real or factual (indicative), possible to be done (subjunctive), command (imperative) tense: when the verb is happening (now-present, yesterday-past, tomorrowfuture) voice: the relationship between the verb and its subject. If the subject is doing the verb's action, then we have active voice. If the subject is being acted upon, then we have passive voice. number: one or many? Verbs: if we have a verb its subject can be either in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd person singular (only one person) or in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd person plural (more than one). Nouns: if we have a noun, it can be either one (singular) or more than one (plural). stem: part of the verb/ noun that remains the same. Verbs: we have to find the stem from the principal parts of the verb. Nouns: we have to find the stem from the genitive case in singular number. declension: family or group of nouns that share the same endings. case: is the form of a noun that gives us its role to the sentence (Nominative, Subject, Vocative, Addressing someone, Accusative, Object, Genitive, something belongs to someone -possession- translation 'of', Dative, translation 'to' or 'for', Ablative, translation 'with', 'by' or 'from'). We can find this term in pronouns and in adjectives as well. gender: tells us about the sex of the noun. It can be masculine (male), feminine (female), neuter or common (can be masculine or a feminine, for example a 'leader' can be a male or a female).

Iraklis Lampadariou

Cases We had a quick look at the cases on the previous page. Let's add some more information and make a nice table. Nominative Vocative Accusative Genitive Dative Ablative

Subject Addressing (direct address) Object (direct) Of (possession/ origin/ quality) To/ For (indirect object) With/ By/ From (prepositional object)

When translating a Latin text, have the above table on your mind and follow these steps: Have you found a verb?

No Keep searching... No verb-no sentence! Example: amabamus

ama ba mus verb? tense? person?

amo: I love, like Imperfect 1st person plural (We)

Is the verb intransitive? verb: to be the subject called complement and it is in the nom. (same case as the Subject).

Yes

Verb? Tense? Person?

Subject - Who? always in the Nominative case Is the verb transitive? Object - What? always in the Accusative case

Translate the sentence following the rules of the English language.

Some cases are identical. This is why you should always check the context! transitive: verb with object intransitive: verb without an object The subject could be: 1. a noun: in nom. 2. a pronoun: in the verb (do not expect to find it in the sentence). In Latin ď&#x192;˝ word order ď&#x192;ž word endings

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

Nouns There are five declensions (families or groups) of nouns in Latin and you can pretty easily say the declension in which a noun belongs to by following this table: Declension

Nominative, Genitive (sing.)

1st -a, -ae

Examples

Genders

mēnsa, -ae

all fem. except: poeta, nauta, agricola (masc.)

2nd -us, -i -er, -i -um, -i 3 irregular

dominus, -ī puer, puer-ī/ ager, agr-ī bellum, -ī deus, fīlius, vir

masc./ fem. masc./ fem. neut. masc.

3rd increasing

rēx, rēgis opus, operis cīvis, cīvis cubile, cubilis gradus, -ūs domus, -us genū, -ūs rēs, reī

masc./ fem. neut. masc./ fem. neut. masc. (almost all) fem. neut. all fem. except: dies,

non-increasing 4th -us, -us -u, -us 5th -es, -ei

meridies (masc.)

If you really want to learn a Latin word, you should learn these four things: Nominative singular (the simplest form of a noun)

Gender (really important for the GNC rule)

NOM., GEN. (G.): meaning Genitive singular it gives you the STEM (the noun without the ending)

How you should translate it (check the case for translating it correctly)

Remember that you are not allowed to change the STEM. The noun in the genitive case without the ending gives you the stem of the noun. Even a tiny mistake in the process of finding the stem, will have a huge impact on writing it correctly in all the cases in singular and plural (decline the noun).

Iraklis Lampadariou

Let's have a look at the endings of the nouns now... 1st declension nouns (Nom. -a, Gen. -ae) Singular Nominative Subject mēns-a Vocative mēns-a Addressing Accusative mēns-am Object Genitive mēns-ae Of Dative mēns-ae To/ For Ablative With/ By/ From mēns-ā

Plural mēns-ae mēns-ae mēns-ās mēns-ārum mēns-īs mēns-īs

2nd declension nouns (Nom. -us, Gen. -i) Singular Nominative Subject domin-us Vocative domin-e Addressing Accusative domin-um Object Genitive domin-ī Of Dative domin-ō To/ For Ablative With/ By/ From domin-ō

Plural domin-ī domin-ī domin-ōs domin-ōrum domin-īs domin-īs

2nd declension nouns (Nom. -er, Gen. -i) - they keep their -e Singular Plural Nominative Subject puer puer-ī Vocative puer puer-ī Addressing Accusative puer-um puer-ōs Object Genitive puer-ī puer-ōrum Of Dative puer-ō puer-īs To/ For Ablative puer-īs With/ By/ From puer-ō 2nd declension nouns (Nom. -er, Gen. -i) - they drop their -e Singular Plural Nominative Subject ager agr-ī Vocative ager agr-ī Addressing Accusative agr-um agr-ōs Object Genitive agr-ī agr-ōrum Of Dative agr-ō agr-īs To/ For Ablative agr-īs With/ By/ From agr-ō

'they keep their -e' The e remains in all the cases in singular and plural.

'they drop their -e' The e is vanished after the nom. and the voc.

3rd declension nouns Please be extra careful with the 3rd declension nouns. Keep calm and follow these steps: increasing: the nom. is different from the gen. with the genitive form having more syllables than the nominativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 'from 1 syllable

non-increasing: nom. is the same with the gen.

3rd declension noun

'remains the same'

increasing

non-increasing

goes to 2, from 2 to 3 and go on'.

Masc./ Fem./ Com.

syllables:

like rex, regis

1 1 1 (1ď&#x192; 2)

Neuter

Masc./ Fem./ Com.

like opus, operis

like civis, civis

1 1 1 1 1 (2ď&#x192; 3)

Neuter like cubile, cubilis

1 1 1 1 (2=2)

1 1 1 1 1 1 (3=3)

Just three key-words to remember for some exceptions that apply on the above figure: family, 1-syllable, -al/ -ar. If you find a noun that can be fitted in any of these key-words, then forget about the diagram and follow these: iuvenis, iuvenis, m. young man senex, senis, m. old man frater, fratris, m. brother

The non-increasing nouns that belong to the first keyword (family) go like rex.

pater, patris, m. father mater, matris, f. mother

Family 1-syllable

-al/ -ar

canis, canis, c. dog

Nouns with only one syllable (monosyllables) with their stem ending in two consonants go like civis.

Increasing neuter nouns ending in -al/ -ar go like cubile.

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

Adjectives To describe a noun, we have to use an adjective. You can only learn an adjective properly if you can remember these four things: Nominative singular of the masculine

Nominative singular of the neuter

NOM. Masc., NOM. Fem. NOM. Neut.: meaning Nominative singular of the feminine

How you should translate it (depends on the case of the noun where the adjective refers to)

We can separate the adjectives into three big categories according to their endings: Adjectives

-us, -a, -um

-er, -a, -um

3rd declension adj.

bonus, bona, bonum 'keep their -e'

termination: the ending of the adjective in nom. masc., fem. and neut.

'drop their -e'

miser, misera, miserum pulcher, pulchra, pulchrum To say if an adjective keeps or drops its -e, check the nom. of the fem.

3-termination adj. celer, celeris, celere

2-termination adj. tristis, tristis, triste

1-termination adj. ingens, ingens, ingens

Iraklis Lampadariou

When dealing with adjectives, you should always have in your mind the GNC rule:

noun

adjective

GNC

GNC rule: when an adjective describes a noun, it must always agree with the noun in Gender, Number and Case. Example:

rex GNC G.: masculine N.: singular C.: nominative

bonus GNC G.: masculine N.: singular C.: nominative

How you are going to decline the adjectives so they can be in the correct case and agree with the nouns? You already know the endings! Here is the proof: Adjectives

-us, -a, -um -us: 2nd declension nouns -us, -i, like dominus, -i -a: 1st declension nouns -a, -ae, like mensa, -ae -um: 2nd declension nouns -um, -i like bellum, -i

3rd declension adj. 3-termination adj. - some of them keep their -e, some of them drop it - singular: like a non-increasing noun but in the ablative: -i instead of -e - plural: like a non-increasing noun, gen. plural: add an i (-ium), nom.-voc.acc. of the neuter: add an i (-ia)

-er, -a, -um 'keep their -e' -er: 2nd declension nouns -er, -i like puer, pueri -a: 1st declension nouns -a, -ae like mensa, -ae -um: 2nd declension nouns -um, -i like bellum, -i

2-termination adj. - singular: like a non-increasing noun but in the ablative: -i instead of -e - plural: like a non-increasing noun, gen. plural: add an i (-ium), nom.-voc.acc. of the neuter: add an i (-ia)

'drop their -e' -er: 2nd declension nouns -er, -i like ager, agri -a: 1st declension nouns -a, -ae like mensa, -ae -um: 2nd declension nouns -um, -i like bellum, -i

1-termination adj. - singular: like a non-increasing noun but in the ablative: -i instead of -e - plural: like a non-increasing noun, gen. plural: add an i (-ium), nom.-voc.acc. of the neuter: add an i (-ia)

Comparison

Degrees: Positive Comparative Superlative

Example:

STEM: genitive singular without the ending (tener-)

Example:

STEM1: nominative singular of the masc. (pulcher-)

Example:

Because there is not just one table or just one author on this planet, there is the need to compare nouns. With other words, there is the need to use the Comparative and the Superlative of the adjectives. So, how you can form the degrees of the adjectives in Latin? Here is the answer: Adjectives in -us, -a, -um Positive Comparative Masc:. STEM-us Masc.: STEM-ior Fem.: STEM-a Fem.: STEM-ior Neut.: STEM-um Neut.: STEM-ius

Superlative Masc.: STEM-issimus Fem.: STEM-issima Neut.: STEM-issimum

STEM: genitive singular without the ending (long-us)

longus, longa, longum

longior, longior, longius

longissimus, longissima, longissimum

long

longer, more longer

longest, most long, very long

Adjectives in -er, -a, -um (keep their -e) Positive Comparative Masc:. STEM Masc.: STEM-ior Fem.: STEM-a Fem.: STEM-ior Neut.: STEM-um Neut.: STEM-ius

Superlative Masc.: STEM-rimus Fem.: STEM-rima Neut.: STEM-rimum

tener, tenera, tenerum

tenerior, tenerior, tenerius tenerrimus, tenerrima, tenerrimum

tender

more tende

Adjectives in -er, -a, -um (drop their -e) Positive Comparative Masc:. STEM1 Masc.: STEM2-ior Fem.: STEM2-a Fem.: STEM2-ior Neut.: STEM2-um Neut.: STEM2-ius

most tender, very tender

Superlative Masc.: STEM1-rimus Fem.: STEM1-rima Neut.: STEM1-rimum

STEM2: genitive singular without the ending (pulchr-)

pulcher, pulchra, pulchrum

pulchrior, pulchrior, pulchrius

pulcherrimus, pulcherrima, pulcherrimum

beautiful

more beautiful

most beautiful, very beautiful

Comparative easier more difficult more similar slenderer lower, lowlier more different

Superlative easiest, very easy most/ very difficult most/ very similar slenderest lowest, lowliest most/ very different

Comparative Masc.: STEM-ior Fem.: STEM-ior Neut.: STEM-ius

Superlative Masc.: STEM-limus Fem.: STEM-lima Neut.: STEM-limum

facilis, facilis, facile

STEM: genitive singular without the ending (facil-)

And these are the six irregular adjectives: Positive bonus malus magnus parvus multus multi

Comparative melior peior maior minor plus plures

Superlative optimus pessimus maximus minimus plurimus plurimi

good bad big small much many

plus, pluris singular: as a neuter noun+gen. plural: as an adjective

same case as noun 1

in ablative case

dux fortior est quam miles.

dux fortior est milite.

The leader is braver than the soldier.

How you are going to decline the adjectives in the comparative and the superlative? You already know the endings! Here is the proof: Comparative

-ior 3rd declension noun, increasing, like rex, regis

Superlative

-ius 3rd declension noun, increasing, like rex, regis

-issimus -rimus -limus

-issima -rima -lima

-issimum - rimum -limum

-us: 2nd declension noun in -us, -i, like dominus, -i -a: 1st declension noun in -a, -ae, like mensa, -ae -um: 2nd declension noun in -um, -i, like bellum, -i

Pronouns In a world without pronouns, the sentences would look like this: "I love the girl. The girl is so beautiful. Yesterday I gave to the girl a rose and the girl liked it so much. I think that I will marry this girl one day." Is anyone yawning? I do not blame you. Without the pronouns the speech would be repetitive and quite boring. So, the pronouns are coming to save the day by replacing nouns and make our sentences more vivid and amusing. For your GCSE in Latin, we could separate the pronouns into 5 categories.

Pronouns in Latin Definite pronoun

Personal pronoun ego, tu

idem, eadem, idem

Demonstrative pronouns is, ea, id/ hic, haec, hoc/ qui, quae, quod

Relative pronoun

Intensive pronoun

qui, quae, quod

ipse, ipsa, ipsum

Personal pronoun First person

Third person (Reflexive) sē suī sibi sē

Plural

vōs vōs vestrum/ vestrī vōbīs vōbīs

sē suī sibi sē

they replace a certain person, thing, or group. Reflexive: it always refers back to the subject (same gender, same number with it). Latin uses the demonstrative pronoun is, ea, id as third person (he, she, it). 1st and 2nd person

nom., sing. & pl.: for emphasis or contrast

nostrum, vestrum: partitive gen. (part of a whole) nostri, vestri: objective gen. (the object of the verb).

Extra care should be taken when dealing with pronouns and possessive adjectives. As their name explains, they used for expressing possession. Do not forget the GNC rule. Some of the most common used possessive adjectives meus, mea, meum tuus, tua, tuum suus, sua, suum noster, nostra, nostrum vester, vestra, vestrum

my your (sing.) his, hers, their our your (pl.)

Also, two adjectives that you may find in a GCSE paper are: alius, alia, alium alter, altera, alterum ceteri, ceterae, cetera

other other (of two nouns/ pronouns) others (the rest)

Indeclinable Adverbs Let's analyse the word: ad+verbs. Words towards verbs. Words that describe verbs. They can also describe adjectives or other adverbs and they are formed from the adjectives. How?

adverbs are indeclinable!

Adjectives in -us, -a, -um and -er, -a, -um STEM Genitive singular without the ending Example:

-e

saev-

saeve

ferocious (adjective)

ferociously (adverb)

3rd declension adjectives STEM Genitive singular without the ending Example:

-iter

fort-

fortiter

strong, brave (adjective)

strongly, bravely (adverb)

Also, there are some adverbs that are not formed from adjectives. These adverbs provides you with information about why, how or when. Adverb antea deinde diu forte frustra heri hic hodie iam ibi ita iterum mox numquam

Translation before, previously then, next for a long time by chance in vain yesterday here today now, already there in this way again soon never

Adverb nunc olim paene postea postridie saepe satis semper sic statim subito tandem tum

Translation now once, some time ago almost afterwards on the next day often enough always thus, in this way at once, immediately suddenly at last then

bonus (adj.): bene (instead of bone)

sometimes you may have to use -ter instead of -iter with some adjectives (audax, stem: audac-, adv.: audacter) if the stem of the adj. ends in t, add only -er at the end facilis: facile (instead of faciliter) difficilis: difficile (instead of difficiliter)

And these are the 5 most common irregular adverbs: Adjective bonus malus magnus parvus multus

Adverb bene male magnopere paulum multum

Comparative melius peius magis minus plus

Superlative optime pessime maxime minime plurimum

well badly greatly littlel much

Prepositions The term gives you a reasonable explanation of their role in a sentence: they take their position pre (before) the noun or pronoun offering a useful way to transate it with a sense of movement or position. The noun or pronoun after the preposition must be in either the accusative (motion towards or through) or the ablative case (position in a specific place or going far away from a place).

Accusative Preposition ad ante apud circum contra extra in inter intra per post praeter prope propter sub trans

Ablative

Meaning to, towards, at before among around against outside into, onto among, between among through, along after except near because of under across

Preposition a/ ab cum de e/ ex in pro sine sub

Meaning from, by, away from with from, about, down from, concerning out of, from in, on in front of, for without under

Because in every rule, there is always (at least) one exception, make sure that you never forget the TSCDHR. TSCDHR names of towns names of small islands names of cities domus, -i (f.): house, home humus, - (f.): ground rus, ruris (n.): countryside

Conjuctions Imagine that conjuctions are acting like glue sticks. They connect (or link) words or groups of words (sentences, clauses). Conjuctions a. et b. -que c. ac d. atque et...et neque/ nec aut...aut sed tamen nam enim itaque igitur priusquam postquam

Translation and both...and and...not either...or but however, moreover

for for and, therefore therefore before after

Notes a. A et B, connects two same things: verbs, nouns, subjects etc. b. A Bque, at the end of the second word c. A ac B, never being used before a vowel or h d. A atque B you can find it as -que...-que as well (always at the end of the words) it can goes with tamen as well (nec tamen: but...not) neque...neque/ nec...nec: neither nor

similar conjuction: autem, is placed second word in the sentence giving an explanation giving an explanation, is placed second word in the clause

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

Verbs There are four conjugations (families or groups) of verbs in Latin that can be divided into four categories. 1. Regular verbs

2. Deponent verbs 3. Semi-deponent verbs 4. Irregular verbs

a. Active form, Active meaning

a. 6 tenses in Active voice (Present, Imperfect, Future, Perfect, Pluperfect, Future Perfect)

b. Passive form, Passive meaning

b. 6 tenses in Passive voice (Present, Imperfect, Future, Perfect, Pluperfect, Future Perfect)

Principal parts: amo, amare, amavi, amatum, I love, I like 6 tenses in Passive voice (Present, Imperfect, Future, Perfect, Passive form, Active meaning Pluperfect, Future Perfect)

Principal parts: conor, conari, conatus sum, I try a. 3 tenses in Active voice (Present, Imperfect, Future) a. Active form, Active meaning b. 3 tenses in Passive voice (Perfect, Pluperfect, Future Perfect) b. Passive form. Active meaning Principal parts: gaudeo, gaudere, gavisus sum, I rejoice possum (I am able), eo (I go), fero (I carry, bear), volo (I want), nolo (I do not want), malo (I prefer)

The most important thing that you should know when you are dealing with a Latin verb are the principal parts. Present tense 1st singular (I love, I like)

Form: the verb as you find it on a Latin text. Meaning: the verb as you should translate it into English.

Perfect tense, 1st singular Stem for Perfect, Pluperfect, Future Perfect (I have loved)

Supine Stem for Perfect, Pluperfect, Future Perfect in the Passive Voice

amō - amāre - amāvi - amātum Present infinitive 1. Stem for Present, Imperfect, Future 2. conjugation (to love, to like)

STEM for 3rd conjugation verbs: verb without the -ere (reg-ere)

As you can see, the second word of the principal parts (amare) gives you two things: the stem for the Present, the Imperfect and the Future of the Active voice and the conjugation in which the verb belongs to. If the character (the letter) before the -re of the present infinitive is a, then the verb belongs to the 1st conjugation. If it is ē (with a macron), then the verb belongs to the 2nd conjugation.

Iraklis Lampadariou

If it is e (without a macron), then the verb belongs to the 3rd conjugation. If it is i, then the verb belongs to the 4th conjugation. Present infinitive

Regular verbs Because in Latin, it is about the ending of the words, make sure you learn the following by heart. Of course, you are not going to learn 48 endings (6 tenses in Active Voice and 6 tenses in the Passive Voice for the four conjugations, 12x4), but only 9 for the Active Voice and 9 for the Passive Voice (18 in total). How are you going to do that? Have a look at the following diagrams: Active Voice

1st/ 2nd -o -s -t -mus -tis -nt

Present 3rd -o -i-s -i-t -i-mus -i-tis -unt

4th -o -s -t -mus -tis -unt

ALL -eram -eras -erat -eramus -eratis -erant

ALL -ero -eris -erit -erimus -eritis -erint

** Imperfect: continuous or incomplete action in the past - translation as Simple Past (I PP, I loved). Perfect: completed action at some definite point of time in the past translation as Simple Past.

Example a. I love, b. I do love, c. I am loving a. I used to love, b. I was loving a. I will love, b. I shall love I have loved I had loved I will have loved

* Present: can be translated as Past Simple when referring to the past (in a story that happened in the past). This means that you will see a verb in the Present tense but you have to translate it as Past Simple (Historic Present).

Deponent verbs Try to remember these four words: Passive Form, Active Meaning. Let's decode these words now: Passive Form (in a Latin text you will find a verb in the Passive voice), Active Meaning (which you have to translate it as if it was in the Active voice). By learning the principal parts for every verb on the Defined Vocabulary List, you will be able to tell easily if a verb is a deponent one. Principal parts of a deponent verb look like this: sequor, sequi, secutus sum ('I follow', not 'I am followed')

Do not expect to see a deponent verb in the Active voice (form) and do not attempt to translate it in Passive voice (meaning).

Semi-deponent verbs Semi means that these verbs are neither like regular, nor like deponent verbs. They have their first three tenses (Present, Imperfect, Future) in Active voice (with an Active meaning) and the other three (Perfect, Pluperfect, Future Perfect) in Passive voice (with Active meaning). Again the principal parts can be very useful during the process of recognising and translating them. Principal parts of a semi-deponent verb look like this: gaudeo, gaudere, gavisus sum (I rejoice)

Conjugation of a semi-deponent verb Present gaudeō gaudēs gaudet gaudēmus gaudētis gaudent

Subjunctive When we are not talking about facts or commands, we should use the Subjunctive. So, this mood is about something hypothetical, for a wish, a desire, an imaginary situation or a possibility (something may happen or may not). There are only 4 tenses (Present, Imperfect, Perfect and Pluperfect) in this mood and you should only be able to recognise and translate correclty a verb in the Subjunctive. Translation of the Subjunctive The way that you will translate this mood depends on how it is being used in the sentence. Usually, it is hiding and waiting to be identified by you in a construction (standard way of forming clauses, usually having as its first word a conjuction). Only then you will be sure about the correct translation of a verb in the Subjunctive. Active Voice Tense Present Imperfect Future Perfect Pluperfect Future Perfect

Imperative The magic word: 'command'. That's a job for the Imperative, the third and the last mood of the verbs. How to form the Imperative? Conjugation Singular 1st present stem 2nd present stem 3rd present stem 4th present stem

Plural present stem + te present stem + te present stem + ite present stem + te

Irregular verbs in the Imperative Verb Singular dico dic duco duc facio fac fero fer sum es

Example ama, amate dele, delete lege, legite audi, audite

Plural dicite ducite facite ferte este

Usually there will be a vocative in your sentence as we give an order to someone by addressing him/ her

The negative version of the Imperative are the prohibitions which can be formed by using two tiny words: we can not use noli (for singular) nolite (for plural) eg.

+ present infinitive

noli amare Do not love (you, sing.)

nolite amare Do not love (you, pl.)

non for expressing a negative direct command. present infinitive: 2nd word of the Principal parts

Iraklis Lampadariou

Indirect commands If you want to report ('transfer') one's direct command (the exact or actual words) to someone else, then you have to use a verb (the main verb of the sentence) and the verb that was used in the direct command in the Imperfect Subjunctive. Direct command Example:

verb in the Imperative dux: Leader:

Indirect command Example:

main clause Subject + Verb + Object

milites, pugnate! soldiers, fight!

subordinate clause

ut verb in Imperfect Subjunctive

dux militibus imperavit ut pugnarent. The leader ordered the soldiers to fight.

The negative version of the indirect commands uses ne instead of ut + non. eg.

dux militibus imperavit ne pugnarent. The leader ordered the soldiers not to fight.

impero has its object in dat. instead of acc. because the meaning is 'I give an order to someone' iubeo uses the infinitive instead of the 'ut+Imperfect Subjunctive'

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

Prefixes, suffixes and compound verbs Prefixes are close friends with prepositions. They go in front of a word and change its meaning. Suffixes are tiny words (even some letters) at the end of a word. Compound verbs are verbs starting with a prefix, a preposition that changes the meaning of the verb. Prefixes Prepositions

Example:

Suffixes Words/ some letters

Compound verbs Suffixes=prepositions

prefix+word

word+suffix

prefix+verb

abnormal

capable

absum

Some of the most common prefixes: a/ab ad de e/ ex in re trans

away, from to down, down from out of into, in back, again across

Sometimes, you may have to change slightly the spelling just for not twisting your tongue. ab+fero: aufero re+eo: redeo re+do: reddo

Clauses Let's put some things in the right place first so we can all understand the meaning of these little words: sentences, clauses and phrases. Sentence: a group of words that makes complete sense, contains a main verb, and begins with a capital letter.

Sentence Clause: a group of words that contains a verb. A clause may form part of a sentence (subornidate clause) or it may be a complete sentence in itself (main clause).

Clause

Phrase: a small group of words that forms a meaningful unit within a clause.

For your GCSE in Latin, we could separate the clauses into 7 categories.

Clauses in Latin Explanatory clauses quod, quamquam circumstances, reasons

Cum clauses cum, ubi, quod when, why sth If clauses (conditionals) Purpose clauses happened si, nisi ut, ne If A is true, B the aim of an action will happen

Time clauses dum, ubi, ubi

Result clauses primum, simulac, tam, adeo, tantus,

Relative clauses tot, talis, quantus,

qui, quae, quod gives extra information about a noun/ pronoun

quot, qualis outcome of an action

simulatque, postquam, priusquam when sth happened

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

Explanatory clauses Signpost words:

quod quamquam

signpost words: words that help you to identify the type of the clause at a glance

because although

By using an explanatory clause, you have a very nice description about circumstances and reasons related to the main clause ('The A happened because the B happened' or 'Because of the B happened, the A happened'). quod gives the reason why something happened. quamquam gives the reason why it might have been expected not to. Danger zone! cum (when, since, although) + Subjunctive cum (when) + Indicative cum (with) + ablative

Cum clauses Signpost words:

cum ubi quod

when, since when because

By using a cum clause, you have the answer to when or why the action of the main clause happened.

If clauses (conditionals) signpost words:

si nisi

if if not, unless

By using an if clause, you set the condition for one action to be done/ completed. In English: If clause If A happens, If A happened, If A had happened,

Main clause B will happen. B would happen. B would have happened.

Time line Future Present Past

Iraklis Lampadariou

In Latin: If clause Si + Indicative, Si + Present Subjunctive, Si + Imperfect Subjunctive

Main clause Indicative Present Subjunctive Imperfect Subjunctive

Type of conditions simple or factual improbable impossible (present)

Translation will would/ should would/ should

Si+ Pluperfect Subjunctive

Pluperfect Subjunctive

impossible (past)

would/ should

Purpose clauses Signpost words:

ut ne

in order to in order not to

By using a purpose clause, you explain the aim with which an action was being done. In English Verb + infinitive (to...)

as an infinitive

Danger zone! purpose clause: intention of an action result clause: outcome of the action ut + Indicative: as

In Latin ut + Imperfect Subjunctive Translation

in order that/ so that + might/ could + verb

if the subject of the purpose clause = the subject of the main clause

if the subject of the purpose clause is not the same with the subject of the main clause

Subject A did that to (Subject A) do that. (present infinitive: to do)

Subject A did that in order that Subject B might do that.

Remember:

relative pronoun + Imperfect Subjunctive = purpose qui, quae, quod (instead of ut)

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

Relative clauses Signpost words:

qui quae quod

who (masc.) who (fem.) which (neut.)

in all the cases, sing. & pl. (relative pronoun)

By using a relative clause, you give more information about a noun or a pronoun that belongs to the main clause. Usually you can find the noun/ pronoun with which the relative clause is linked/ related, before of the relative clause and it is called antecedent. Antecedent the noun to which a relative clause refers

Example:

Relative clause

Noun/ pronoun, qui/ quae/ quod VERB, VERB.

miles, qui pugnat in proelio, laetus est. The soldier, who fights in the battle, is happy.

Keep in mind that the relative pronoun (qui, quae, quod) must agree with the antecedent in Gender and Number but not necessarily in case as we could translate the pronoun according to its role in the sentence: Antecedent Nominative case (if it is the subject)

Accusative case (if it is the object)

Relative clause who (nom.) whom (acc.) whose (gen.) to whom (dat.) by whom (abl.) which

To avoid any mistakes while translating the relative clause, it would be easier for you to translate it after you have translated the antecedent.

Iraklis Lampadariou

Result clauses Signpost words:

tam adeo tantus tot talis quantus quot qualis

so so much, to such an extent so big so many such, of such a sort how big? (answer: tantus) how many? (answer: tot) what sort? (answer: talis)

By using a result clause, you stress the outcome of an action. The way to form a result clause in Latin is the following: signpost word verb

ut verb in Imperfect

You should translate these clauses, using common sense about the tenses of the verbs.

Time clauses Signpost words:

dum ubi ubi primum simulac simulatque postquam priusquam

while when as soon as as soon as as soon as after before

ubi: where (in a question or in a clause about where an action happened)

By using a time clause, you express when exactly an action happened. The verb of these sentences is in the Indicative and can be translated very easy. Remember:

Latin dum + Present, Perfect. ubi + Future, Future.

English While + Imperfect, Past Simple. ubi + Present, Future.

Participles A participle is an adjective formed from a verb. It shares some characteristics from both the adjectives (endings, gender, number, case) and the verbs (tense). A participle can belong to the Present, the Past (Perfect) and the Future. Present Past (Perfect) main clause

Future Declension of participles: Present: 3rd declension, two termination adj. Perfect: adj. in us, -a, -um Future: adj. in -us, -a, -um

Actions happening at the same time as the main verb

Formation 1st/ 2nd conj.: present stem + -ns 3rd/ 4th conj.: present stem + -ens

happening before the main verb

supine stem + -us, -a, -um

happening after the main verb

supine stem + -urus, -ura, -urum

Irregular participle of eo: Present: iens, euntis (going) Perfect: itus Future: iturus

Perfect passive participle (from regular verbs): because it is passive, you may found an agent/ instrument near it. Also, it is better to translate it as a clause starting with when, after, who/ which.

Perfect active participle (from deponent and semideponent verbs): it is better to translate it as after doing or when they had done.

Example ama-ns loving, while loving leg-ens reading, while reading amat-us, -a, -um having been loved conat-us, -a, -um having tried amat-urus, -a, -um about to love Two options for you to translate easier the participle: A. as a subordinate clause B. as a main clause which can be connected with the second main clause using and

Gerundives A gerundive is an adjective formed from a verb and has got similar characteristics with Participles. How to form it? Conjugations

Formation

1st/ 2nd

present stem + -ndus, -a, -um

3rd/ 4th

present stem + -endus, -a, -um

How to translate it? The Gerundive has passive meaning (needing to be PP, requiring to be PP, to be PP)

How to identify it easily? Check for (vowel)-nd-(vowel)

Example port-ndus, -a, -um needing to be loved dele-ndus, -a, -um needing to be destroyed leg-endus, -a, -um needing to be read audi-endus, -a, -um needing to be heard

How you can find useful the gerundive? A. as an adjective (with the verb to be) - remember the GNC rule B. ad + gerundive: purpose (to...) C. as a neuter noun (with intransitive verbs) - the agent in dat.

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

Gerunds A gerund is a noun formed by a verb. Be careful! It is not an adjective like Participles and Gerundives. How to form it? Conjugations

Formation

1st/ 2nd

present stem + -ndum

3rd/ 4th

present stem + -endum

Can be found in the acc. only after prepositions e.g. ad + gerund: in order to, for the purpose of

Translation acc.: for verb-ing gen.: of verb+ing dat.: to verb+ing abl.: by verb+ing

Example ama-ndum loving dele-ndum destroying leg-endum reading audi-endum hearing In Latin, you can not have a gerund in nom. because the infinitive is used for this purpose.

gen. of gerund + causa: for the sake of e.g. legendi causa: for the sake of reading

Ablative absolute The ablative absolute (easy to be identified because of its case) sets the scene in the sentence. It's not just a word in the ablative case but a phrase with a noun or pronoun and participle in the ablative. It is related with the main clause but it is separated from it. It sets the background when the main action of the sentence happens. noun/ pronoun in ablative

participle in ablative

main clause

How to translate it? It depends. You can pick one of the following options: a. with b. as a clause (when, after, while, because, who)

Usually, you will find it with a perfect passive participle. Usually, you will find it at the beginning of the sentences.

In your sentence, if you have a noun in abl. without preposition referring to a person, you may have found an ablative absolute.

Latin GCSE - A Revision Handbook

Direct questions Do you like Latin? This is a direct question: someone asks someone about something and at the end of the sentence, there is always a question mark. In Latin, which I am sure you like as a language, there are three possible ways to ask someone about something. With other words to form a question.

Some questioning words cur: why? qualis: what kind of? quam: how? quantus: how big? quid: what? quo: where to? quot: how many? Some questioning words: quis: who? ubi: where? unde: where from?

Questions in Latin questioning word question mark a. questioning word at the beginning of the sentence with a question mark at the end b. just a question mark (without a questioning word)

Indirect questions

-ne

nonne/ num

add -ne at the end of the first word of the nonne (yes) sentence at the beginning of the sentence when the person that asks, expect a positive answer (yes)

num (no) at the beginning of the sentence when the person that asks, expect a negative answer (no) At the end of a question, you sould always use/ find a question mark. num (direct question): surely not?

If you are going to tell to one of your friends the question that you found on the top of the previous page (the direct question: 'Do you like Latin?'), obviously you are not going to say the exact question because then it will be you that will ask them if they like Latin. But your aim is to 'transfer' my question (so, the author is the subject) to them. It will be something like: 'The author of the book asked if I like Latin'. That's an indirect question as someone is transferring someone's else question.

Iraklis Lampadariou

verb in the Indicative + ?

Direct question Example:

dux: Leader:

cur pugnatis? why do you fight?

main clause Example:

Indirect question

Subject + Verb in Past + Object dux milites rogavit The leader asked the soldiers

all the questioning words can be used in the indirect questions

subordinate clause

verb in Imperfect Subjunctive or verb in Pluperfect Subjunctive cur pugnarent. why they fight.

Be careful! Remember the word 'back'.

num (indirect question): whether, if

When we form a question and we ask someone, immediately, this question belongs to the past - it does not belong in the Present anymore! So, this is why we have to go back one tense, as in English language concerning the indirect questions. Direct question Present Past e.g.

Indirect question Verb of the Main clause Verb of the subordinate clause Past Imperfect Subjunctive Past Pluperfect Subjunctive

Present? dux: cur pugnatis? Leader: why do you fight? Past + Imperfect Subjunctive. dux rogavi milites cur pugnarent. The leader asked the soldiers why they fight.

Indirect question

Past + Pluperfect Subjunctive. dux milites rogavit cur pugnavissent. The leader asked the soldiers why they had fought.

Indirect speech The indirect speech is similar with the indirect questions. We have someone transferring the words of someone else but without a question mark. So, we are talking about statements, sentences with a verb giving us an information without asking (question) or ordering (command). Indirect statement

Time expressions Definitely time is money and you should know how to express it in Latin if you want to avoid any mistakes. The big picture is that we never use a preposition but only two cases the accusative (duration) and the ablative (specific time-we know exactly when happened). Specific time Past Time line

As for the details, you can find everything on this table: Accusative

The idea of Saita publications emerged in July 2012, having as a primary goal to create a web space where new authors can interact with the readers directly and free. Saita publicationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aim is to redefine the publisher-author-reader relationship, by cultivating a true dialogue and by establishing an effective communication channel for authors and readers alike. Saita publications stay far away from profit, exploitation and commercialization of literary property.

The strong wind of passion for reading, the sweet breeze of creativity, the zephyr of motivation, the sirocco of imagination, the levanter of persistence, the deep power of vision guide the saita (paper plane) of our publications.

We invite you to let books fly free!

This handbook is aimed at being a simple but efficient synopsis of all the grammar and syntax points that are required for the GCSE in Latin Language. It is designed for students in Year 11, but also for people who want to taste what Latin is all about. It might, however, be suitable as a resource for teachers who wish to teach their students following the way that it helped me to learn this highly inflected language; by using tables, diagrams and notes, all in nice memorable 'boxes'.
