This lesson contains 6 verbs.
Causing an event, giving an order and persuading someone are related ideas with different Latin constructions. Efficiō brings something about; fīō can mean become or happen and also supplies passive forms corresponding to faciō. Imperō and mandō name a person in the dative in the uses recorded here, and persuādeō likewise needs attention to its dative connection. Ostendō returns to showing or telling with an accusative and infinitive. Do not let a shared English that after these verbs persuade you that every Latin clause must have the same structure. Challenge II week 25 concentrates on fīō while discussing the setting and details of translated passages. Before continuing, distinguish making from becoming, locate the person receiving an order or persuasion, and use the individual construction note to decide how the dependent action relates to the main verb.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-conjugation verbs (2), 1st-conjugation verbs (2), irregular verbs (1), 2nd-conjugation verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge II, week 25.
Fīō supplies passive forms corresponding to faciō and also means become or happen. Its irregular forms need separate recognition practice.
Their entries specify a dative person. English word order is not a reliable guide to that Latin case relationship.
