This lesson contains 6 pronouns, 4 verbs, 3 adverbs, 2 conjunctions and 1 noun.
Pronouns ask the reader to keep track of people even when their names disappear. Begin with the speaker and listener: ego and nōs, tū and vōs. Then distinguish is from the reflexive entry suī, which points back rather than simply introducing another person. The second-conjugation verbs provide familiar actions for practising those relationships, and the little connectors enim and tamen help explain how thoughts fit together. Avoid learning the pronouns as one uninterrupted chant; ask who each form refers to in an assigned sentence. Challenge A works through this list in weeks 21–23, comparing personal and reflexive pronouns before third-conjugation work. B uses weeks 11–12, and I reviews the material in week 4. Before Lesson 12, distinguish singular and plural you, trace a pronoun to its referent, and recall the principal parts of videō without replacing them with the earlier ready-made forms.
Forms in this lesson: 2nd-conjugation verbs (4), 3rd-declension nouns (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge A, weeks 21, 22 and 23, Challenge B, weeks 11 and 12 and Challenge I, week 4.
Tū addresses one person; vōs addresses more than one. English you hides this distinction, so say singular or plural when reviewing.
No. Suī belongs to the reflexive pronoun, referring back to the subject in its ordinary direct use. Is can refer to another person or thing.
