Here we go over the constructions of the ablative absolute and the passive periphrastic. Definitely ten-dollar terms for explaining how to make a sentence more convoluted and circuitous. Stick with me!! We’re switching into syntactical Latin and leaving behind its rudimentary formation counterpart! This is when it gets good and when we’ll start to incorporate Harry Potter in Latin!

Here we have a VERY important lesson and one of my very favorite topics in Latin! (Don’t ask me why, I think it’s cause I got it the first time I read what they were…) I have always thought of these constructions as verbial adjectives. Not sure if I can coin that or not… Remember, as we go through this lesson, there is no such thing as a present passive participle or a perfect active particle! That means you only have four forms to memorize here instead of six!!! Yayayaya(ya)!

Short and sweet one again! Here we go over our last declension in Latin!!! Yayayayaya!!!… Don’t get too excited, we still have lots o’ chapters and concepts to cover!

Short lil’ episode going over some irregularities and things to note in the passive system. Nothing new here though! Kick back and reeeelllaaaxxx.

Here we go over the very distinctive -u- stem declension. We go over both the grammar and a little linguistic history to add a lol’ cherry on top. Nice a short episode for y’all that have a short attention span… aka the majority pop.

Just another spoken work/poetic interjection.

Here I go over the formation, literal translation, and functions of the perfect passive system in all of its forms: present prefect passive, pluperfect passive, future perfect passive… I recommend to do a little refresher of the present passive system in order to remember just how we form passive verbs and what type of agents (Not Direct Objects!!!!) they expect.

More pronoun stuff and understanding some basic fundamentals in grammar as we tackle what clauses are, subordinating clauses, antecedents, and just why the heck they’re so important to our understanding of language and sentence structure! I’M NOT BORING I PROMISE.

Here I go over the concept of the third declension I-Stem nouns and the three ablative forms that accompany it. Lots of grammar in this, but a very important and rather easy concept!

Here I go over a wide array of concepts and linguistic markers in order to understand pronouns in their entirety as they function in both Latin and English - where they both compliment and contrast one another. I go on a small tangent about Porto-Indo-European linguistic characters and how they’ve been passed through language. I want to thank my professor Dr. Mark Damen for giving me a deeper knowledge of language other than simply translating and memorizing but truly understanding how objective grammarians are!
