Cicero's vocabulary asks you to hear an accusation as well as understand an event. Audācia can be boldness or recklessness, and furor suggests rage or frenzy; choosing a bland English synonym may soften the speaker's judgement. Catilīna is masculine despite its first-declension form, while Cicerō uses a third-declension genitive. The time expressions beginning jam keep pressure on how long a situation has continued. Separate those expressions from the nouns of public danger, such as conjūrātiō and incendium. In the reference Challenge III schedule, this lesson begins in week 17, when seminar work combines active translation with discussion of stylistic choices noticed at home. Prepare one place where a word's tone changes your reading of the speaker. Before Lesson 2, recognise the two proper names' forms and distinguish the factual action from the judgement conveyed by the vocabulary used to describe it.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-declension nouns (6), 1st-declension nouns (4), 1st-conjugation verbs (3), 2nd-declension nouns (2), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (2), 2nd-conjugation verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge III, week 17.
The entry also includes daring and recklessness. In an accusation, the surrounding argument may call for a disapproving meaning.
No. Catilīna is a masculine personal name. Its declension pattern and grammatical gender must be learned separately.
