Latin/Verbs Present 3 Lesson 2

Salvēte omnēs! Welcome back to Latin for Wikiversity. Here you can peruse a new lesson in Latin, in a simple format. If you would like to catch up, you can find a directory of lessons, a classified vocabulary list, and Memrise courses at the links on the right.

In last week’s lesson we covered verbs for “cost,” “don’t want,” “prefer,” and “become, be made.” We’ll add some more common verbs today, and review a few we’ve already learned. There are some verbs that may be confusing (e.g. raise a crop, raise a child, grow in size are three different verbs) or have multiple meanings (tollo can mean either lift up or take away).

Practice
Quite a few verbs today, and more to come next time. One game I play with my students is to have a competition to identify English derivatives of our Latin words, especially verbs. How many derivatives can you find? Valēte!
