This page joins action verbs with the machinery of direct questions. Capiō, faciō, fugiō and jaciō are third-conjugation -iō verbs; inspect their infinitives before sorting them with fourth-conjugation words. Two expressions give familiar verbs specialised work: cōnsilium capere concerns making a plan, and iter facere making a journey. Learn those as short units already present in the list. Then separate question content from question expectation. Cūr asks why, while nōnne suggests that yes is expected and num that no is expected; -ne does not make that same assumption. Challenge II week 3 compares active indicative forms and direct questions, with oral translation practice. Before advancing, recognise the two verb expressions without translating mechanically and distinguish a question asking for information from a particle that signals the speaker's anticipated answer.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-conjugation verbs (6), 1st-conjugation verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge II, week 3.
Nōnne generally anticipates yes; num anticipates no. They reveal the questioner's expectation as well as marking a question.
Its natural meaning is make a plan. Knowing take and plan separately may not produce the intended English expression.
