| Latin | English | Part of speech | Form |

| cōgō, cōgere, coēgī, coāctus | collect; force | verb | 3rd conjugation |
| cōnsistō, cōnsistere, cōnstitī | halt; take a position | verb | 3rd conjugation (intransitive) |
| genus, generis | kind; race | noun | neuter · 3rd declension |
| incolō, incolere, incoluī | inhabit; dwell in | verb | 3rd conjugation |
| inquit | he says; he said | verb | defective verb |
| mūnītiō, mūnītiōnis | fortification | noun | feminine · 3rd declension |
| quaerō, quaerere, quaesīvī, quaesītus | seek; ask | verb | 3rd conjugation |
| quantus, a, um | how large?; how great? | adjective | interrogative adjective |
| rogō, rogāre, rogāvī, rogātus | ask | verb | 1st conjugation |
| vērus, a, um | true | adjective | 1st/2nd declension adjective |
This lesson contains 6 verbs, 3 nouns and 2 adjectives.
Rogō and quaerō both reach English as ask, but quaerō also means seek. Picture asking a person and searching for an answer, then check which action the passage actually describes. Inquit is different again: it is a restricted verb form used in reporting speech, not a normal headword from which to build a complete regular conjugation. Cōgō brings the unexpected principal parts coēgī and coāctus, while cōnsistō describes halting or taking a position. The nouns aqua, genus and mūnītiō offer a useful check across declensions and genders. Challenge B weeks 26–27 connect this work with commands and wishes; I includes the list in week 12 translation discussion. Before advancing, recognise inquit promptly within speech, retrieve cōgō's principal parts, and avoid treating every English ask as a guarantee that the same Latin verb is required.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-conjugation verbs (4), 3rd-declension nouns (2), 1st-declension nouns (1), 1st-conjugation verbs (1), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge B, weeks 26 and 27 and Challenge I, week 12.
It is a defective verb with a restricted set of forms. Learn its use in reporting speech rather than inventing a regular full paradigm.
The forms coēgī and coāctus are less predictable from the headword. Recall the whole entry with both collect and force in mind.
