This lesson contains 4 adverbs, 2 nouns, 2 adjectives, 1 pronoun and 1 verb.
Degree and manner are the thread through adeō, ita, sīc and tam, but the adjective pairs make finer distinctions. Tālis asks you to think of kind or quality; tantus of size or amount. These words can signal the setup for a result clause, where the outcome must be distinguished from an intended purpose. Ūtor stands apart as a deponent verb taking the ablative, an important construction that English use does not reveal. Cāritās and annus supply nouns amid the short modifiers. Challenge II week 26 compares clause structures and moves into the next historical reading. Before the following list, recognise a word of degree without translating it as an independent event, distinguish such a kind from so great, and keep the ablative with ūtor. In a long sentence, check the result against the degree word that prepared you for it.
Forms in this lesson: 2nd-declension nouns (1), 3rd-declension nouns (1), 3rd-declension adjectives (1), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (1), deponent verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge II, week 26.
Tālis means such or of such a kind; tantus means so great. One stresses kind or quality, the other size or degree.
Ūtor takes the ablative in the use listed here. English use takes a direct object, so translating by English habits can obscure the Latin construction.
