This lesson contains 4 verbs, 2 adjectives, 1 noun and 1 adverb.
Asking, seeking and knowing form the central thread of this list. Rogō asks or requests; quaerō can ask but also search; sciō knows. Aperiō supplies a concrete action of opening or uncovering, with aperuī and apertus that should be learned rather than predicted from the fourth-conjugation label. Quantus and quot separate size from number: how great is not the same question as how many. Quō asks about movement toward a place. Challenge II week 5 uses seminar comparisons to clarify indicative and subjunctive forms and the sequence of tenses. Keep those sentence-level questions distinct from the vocabulary check so that a tense difficulty does not look like a forgotten meaning. Before continuing, answer the size, number and direction questions accurately, and recall the less obvious principal parts of aperiō with the headword.
Forms in this lesson: 4th-conjugation verbs (2), 3rd-declension nouns (1), 3rd-conjugation verbs (1), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (1), 1st-conjugation verbs (1).
