CHAPTER 2: IN TABERNĀ
PRINCIPLE PARTS
Latin verb endings are attached to a stem, from which the four principle parts are made.
For now, we will only study two.
English has principal parts which you already know:see, saw, seen (to see)eat, ate, eaten (to eat)take, took, taken (to take)
ambul-ō, ambul-āre The first principle part is
the 1st person singular of the present tense.
ambulō (I walk)
ambul-āre The second principal part
is the infinitive…or the verb form without a verb ending, i.e.: ‘to walk’
Ex. vendit…vendere
Any verb will be introduced according to its principal parts in this book or any dictionary.
CHAPTER 3: NEGOTIUM BONUMThe Concept of Case in Latin
The case of a word indicates the function that word plays in a sentence. If you think of a Latin sentence as a puzzle, the cases of a word are the grooves of each piece. You have to recognize and fit which pieces fit together.
Valeria cibum et pōtum dat.
Some Points:
• All nouns, adjectives, and pronouns have a case.
• The function of a word in a sentence is indicated by its case ending, which tells you what the case of a word is.
• There are six major cases in Latin.
Nominative
Accusative
CHAPTER 3: NEGOTIUM BONUM
The Concept of Case in Latin
The Nominative case indicates the subject of a sentence, or the person, place, or thing that is performing the action of the verb.
The Accusative Case indicates the direct object of a verb, or a noun or pronoun that receives the direct action of a transitive verb. The accusative case often ends with the case ending of –m.

CHAPTER 2: IN TABERNĀ
He walks (simple action)
He is walking (continuous action)
He does walk (emphatic action)
Funny, though. In Latin, all three words would be translated as:ambulat
ASPECTIn English, the tense of a verb expresses at which time its
action takes place, but verbs in English also expresses what we call aspect, or the kind of action of the verb. For example:
