This lesson contains 8 nouns, 3 verbs, 2 prepositions, 1 conjunction and 1 adverb.
An army arriving at a harbour gives this list a concrete shape: exercitus, adventus and portus belong together as a memory picture. Their fourth-declension genitives end in -ūs, so a nominative ending in -us is no longer enough to identify a second-declension noun. Keep the long vowel in view when comparing dictionary entries. There are also two entries for in, distinguished by case: location with the ablative, and meanings including motion into with the accusative. Autem is a connecting word whose usual position is after the first word of its clause. In Challenge A weeks 7–8, seminar comparisons move among the later noun declensions; B reaches this list in week 5 and I reviews it in week 1. Before the next list, recognise the fourth-declension genitive and explain which case makes the two entries for in different.
Forms in this lesson: 4th-declension nouns (8), 4th-conjugation verbs (2), 3rd-conjugation verbs (1), prepositions taking the ablative (1), prepositions taking the accusative (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge A, weeks 7 and 8, Challenge B, week 5 and Challenge I, week 1.
The preposition is listed with different case constructions. With the ablative it describes location; with the accusative it can describe movement into or against.
No. Its genitive is exercitūs, marking the fourth declension. Compare both dictionary forms before choosing a noun pattern.
