Latin Verbs Explained and Made Easier
Learn the active and passive indicative tenses, deponent verbs, and main subjunctive tenses in Latin with this beginner-friendly course. Designed to make learning Latin verbs easy, it breaks down the constituent parts and explains their meanings and changes. Perfect for beginners in the language, this course aims to reduce rote-learning and provide a quick and easy approach to mastering the main parts of the verb. Whether you’re studying for exams or simply want to understand the basics, this course is for you.
What you’ll learn
- To recognise the active indicative tenses in Latin, and to translate them
- To recognise the Passive indicative tenses in Latin, and to translate them
- To recognise the deponent verbs in Latin, and to translate them
- To recognise the main subjunctive tenses in Latin and how to translate them
This course will explain how the main verb forms in Latin are formed and how they can be recognised and translated.
The course is intended for beginners in the language, and seeks to make learning these very important parts of the language as easy as possible. This is done by breaking verbs up into their constituent parts and explaining what these mean, and if they change, how they change. There is more here than is needed for the English GCSE, but just about as much as is needed for A-Level. Regardless of examinations, however, the course is designed to make what is traditionally regarded as a hard but essential part of the language as easy to understand in its basics. It is also designed to reduce the amount of rote-learning to an irreducible minimum.
This course on the Latin verbs is intended to form just part of a learning package that will cover the entire language – grammar, syntax, translation strategies, even scansion. But it can also serve as a standalone course for those students who simply want a quick and easy approach to the main parts of the verb.
In closing, don’t expect me to provide a course that takes all the learning out of getting the verbs. But I do believe this course makes the verbs easier to learn than the approaches made in the standard course books.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner students of Latin
