liberōs vocat may mean Julia calls his children. Ask the class to translate Virī eārum puerōs laudant.
In the vocabulary (p. 287) point out that the English word agriculture is regularly written in Latin as two words. The adverb quō is often translated where, but quō is always used with verbs of motion and is thus distinguished from ubi, where, used in expressions of rest. For example, Ubi est Galba? where is Galba? but Quō Galba properat? where is Galba hastening?
§ 117. The point should be made that while other adjectives, unless emphatic, usually follow their nouns, demonstrative adjectives usually precede them. We therefore say is carrus, ea fāma, etc.
In the dialogue (§ 118) departures from the normal order are shown by Neutrīus fīlius est puer; ad lātōs Sextī agrōs; Agricolaene sunt Gallī; Bellum amant Gallī, nōn agrī cultūram; Apud eōs; laudat eōs; saepe; Mala; saepe; miserī; multīs.
SECOND REVIEW
Conduct this review like the first one (see p. 13). The following Lesson should not be taken up until all the ground covered thus far has been mastered.
LESSON XVIII
It will be well to make sure that the class can conjugate the regular English verb in the indicative before taking up the Latin conjugation.
§ 120. Compare the names given to the tenses in Latin with those used in English.
§ 123. The present stem of sum is es-, sometimes weakened to s-. An s between two vowels is regularly changed to r, hence eram, erō, etc. are for esam, esō, etc. The vowels following the stem in the present are thematic vowels, those following it in the imperfect and future are tense signs. These facts should be known to the teacher to meet possible inquiries of bright pupils. If no questions are asked, nothing need be said about them at this stage.
