Studying this lesson

Counting and choosing make two connected groups here. Duo and trēs have changing forms, while centum stays fixed. Prīmus and secundus place items in order rather than counting them. The selectors alius, alter, ūllus and nūllus require their special genitive and dative singular forms, explicitly recorded in the metadata, instead of an unexamined bonus pattern. Uterque concerns each or both of two; keep that paired setting in mind. Challenge II assigns this vocabulary in week 16 while seminar grammar reviews ablative relationships and begins a connected Caesar reading sequence. The vocabulary does not itself consist of ablatives, so practise the two tasks separately. Before Lesson 18, distinguish cardinal number from order, recognise which numerals decline, and preserve the difference between another in a larger group and the other member of a pair.

Forms in this lesson: 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (7).

In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge II, week 16.
