All 4 vocabulary words from Lesson 30 of Henle Latin First Year, with English meanings, parts of speech, and forms.
| Latin | English | Part of speech | Form |
|---|---|---|---|

This lesson contains 3 verbs and 1 noun.
Only a few new headwords appear here, giving you room to attend to how a sentence works. Addūcō leads toward someone or something, commoveō alarms or arouses, and impediō hinders. They can all affect a person's actions, but they belong to three different conjugations. Auctōritās names authority or influence, an abstract noun with the stem auctōritāt- visible in the genitive. Imagine influence encouraging movement and an obstacle preventing it; then discard the picture and test the words in a different order. Challenge I assigns this vocabulary in week 16, when seminar work returns to questions from home exercises and translation practice. It is outside the stored A and B vocabulary sequences. Before the next list, retrieve each verb's infinitive and perfect form, and explain the difference between naming authority and describing the action that authority may cause.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-conjugation verbs (1), 3rd-declension nouns (1), 2nd-conjugation verbs (1), 4th-conjugation verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge I, week 16.
Addūcō, commoveō and impediō use third-, second- and fourth-conjugation patterns respectively. A small list can still require several different form systems.
The genitive auctōritātis reveals auctōritāt-. Learn that form alongside authority or influence.
