This lesson contains 13 adjectives, 5 nouns and 1 preposition.
Adjectives now let a familiar noun carry a more precise description. Bonus, magnus and longus provide first- and second-declension forms for agreement, but the noun they describe may belong to another declension. Legiō is feminine and third declension: matching gender, number and case does not mean copying its ending. Organise the descriptive words into size, quality and safety, and keep altus flexible enough to describe either height or depth. The nouns frūmentum and inopia make a useful contrast between supplies and scarcity. Challenge A uses weeks 10–11 to distinguish ways adjectives function and to prepare for third-declension adjectives. B reaches this comparison in week 7, while I works with these words in week 2 translation review. Before Lesson 8, identify the noun an adjective describes and explain its agreement without assuming that both words must look alike at the end.
Forms in this lesson: 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (13), 2nd-declension nouns (3), 1st-declension nouns (1), 3rd-declension nouns (1), prepositions taking the ablative (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge A, weeks 10 and 11, Challenge B, week 7 and Challenge I, week 2.
No. It must agree in gender, number and case. A noun and its adjective can use different declension patterns and therefore different endings.
Both meanings are listed. Think of vertical extent, then use the object being described to choose natural English.
