Nōmen Hōra Diēs Lingua Latīna I Master Quiz Passages D O N O T L O S E T H I S P A C K E T! The passages in this packet will be used for oral recitation grades, translations on stage quizzes, and passages for reading comprehension questions on the midterm and final exam. You will be using these passages to practice dividing and accenting words, translating precisely into English, etc. They will be used for daily work grades (dividing & accenting; translating), quiz grades (oral recitation/reading), and study material on stage quizzes on which you will write out a translation and answer questions about the grammar. Please do not lose this packet! When assigned, you will need to write out a translation for a passage plus divide and accent all of the words. Instructions for dividing and accenting words is below. DIVIDING AND ACCENTING (HOMEWORK GRADE) Trying hard to divide a new word Keep in mind what you ve already heard With consonants, be mean! Divide before or between And most of your fears will be cured. Dividing words into syllables is simple and logical. Use the poem to help you remember the most important rules you always divide before a single consonant or between two consonants. You also divide between two vowels. But watch out for these exceptions: combinations like tr and gr count as a single consonant: pa-trem, a-gri-co-la. Also, qu, ch, ph, th count as a single consonant: am-phi-the-ā-trum. Where does that accent go? A syllable is long if it contains a long vowel or diphthong OR if it contains a short vowel followed by two or more consonants or by x (=ks). If the next to last (penultimate) syllable is long, the accent goes there. Otherwise it goes on the next to next to last (antepenultimate) syllable. Just follow these questions to get your accent right! 1) Is the accent ever on the last syllable? NEVER. 2) Does the next to last syllable have a long vowel? yes ACCENT IT! no go to question #3 3) Is the next to the last syllable followed by two consonants? yes ACCENT IT! no move to the syllable before the next to last syllable and ACCENT IT! RECITATION (QUIZ GRADE) You will be graded on the following simple rubric for recitation: ++ = 100 = -0 + = 95 = -1 to -3 = 85 = -4 to -7 - = 75 = -8 to -10 -- =70 = more than -10, but an honest effort was made Recitations will be PHONED IN and left on my classroom phone: (512) 222-9729.

TRANSLATING (HOMEWORK AND ON STAGE QUIZZES) Learning how to translate a story into English accurately is a skill which demonstrates your ability to pay attention to details as well as to understand the big picture. When the Latin passages begin to become more difficult, it will help you to follow these steps used for reading Latin. Please take special note of #6. RULES FOR READING 1. Read the sentence or passage completely. In order to see all the words in context, reread as needed. 2. While reading, register the word endings and their relationship to one another. Reread as needed. 3. Now look up unfamiliar words. Reread as needed. 4. Recognize word groups and read them in sequence. Reread as needed. 5. Once a subordinate clause or phrase hasbegun, it must be completed before the rest of the sentence can proceed. Reread as needed. 6. Translate only when you know how a sentence works and what it means. HOW THOSE RULES APPLY TO TRANSLATING What does it mean to see the words in context? Certain words, when next to other words, can mean different things. Therefore it s important to see what s together. The word agit means he does/drives but negōtium agit means he does business and tibi grātiās agō means thank you. Why do I need to register word endings or their relationship to one another? Latin is an inflectional language the function of a word in the sentence changes according to its ending as opposed to whether it is first or second or last. Words with accusative endings are often first in the sentence, but they are the direct object none the less. An adjective will have the same case, number, and gender as the word it modifies, and knowing this can sometimes help you figure out the case of a word which has an ambiguous ending. Why should I wait to look up unfamiliar words? Sometimes you can figure out the meaning of a word just because of its context in a paragraph. If you are rereading the sentence or paragraph, you may realize just from logic what the unknown word means. Why waste time looking up everything? What are word groups? Is reading in sequence really necessary if Latin is all about the endings anyway? Word groups in Latin 1 are often just as simple as prepositional phrases or noun/adjective pairs. However, a word in the accusative case might be a direct object or the object of a preposition. Learning to recognize word groups will help you become a more efficient reader, especially when you combine it with known sentence patterns. What s so important about where a subordinate clause is in the sentence? Why can t you finish the sentence/main clause and then deal with the subordinate clause? In Latin, the subject will often appear before the subordinate clause and by the time you finish with the subordinate clause you may forget that the subject was even there. Therefore, it s important to understand how Latin nests phrases and clauses. This will also prevent you from translating parts of the subordinate clause as part of the main clause and vice versa. Why do I need to keep rereading? (I want to be done already!) Sometimes it s difficult to see word groups the first read through, especially if your mind is puzzling over the meaning of particular words. Rereading not only helps you to register word endings and see phrasing which you might have missed the first time, but it can also help you figure out the meaning of unfamiliar or forgotten words. Why can t I start writing out a translation as I figure out each word? (Doesn t it save me time to do it that way?) If you race to write down the meaning of the first word because you know what it means without registering endings, without seeing word groups and phrasing, and if that word was an object and not the subject, you would have begun the sentence totally wrong. After that, your brain will want to discount the significance of all other endings because you ve predetermined incorrectly how the rest of the sentence will flow. Take the time to understand the whole sentence before writing anything down. In the long run, it will save you time and lead to fewer errors. 512-222-9729 1.
