This lesson contains 12 verbs.
Saying, thinking, knowing and perceiving can all introduce someone else's statement. That shared construction unites verbs from several conjugations on this page. After a reporting expression, Latin can put the reported subject in the accusative and its verb in the infinitive. Find those two pieces before trying to turn the sentence into English with that. Negō deserves special attention because the negative belongs within the reported meaning: deny or say that something is not so. Reperiō and sentiō broaden the group beyond speech alone. Challenge I revisits this list in weeks 24–26 through translation discussion and difficult exercise questions. Sort the words into speech, thought and perception for recall, then mix them again. Before advancing, distinguish the main reporting verb from its dependent infinitive and carry the negative force of negō into the English statement accurately.
Forms in this lesson: 1st-conjugation verbs (5), 4th-conjugation verbs (4), 3rd-conjugation verbs (2), 2nd-conjugation verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge I, weeks 24, 25 and 26.
They share an accusative-and-infinitive construction used in reported statements. Their sentence function, rather than one conjugation pattern, links the list.
Preserve the denial. English often says say that something is not so, rather than attaching not to an unrelated part of the sentence.
