This lesson contains 8 verbs, 3 adverbs and 1 conjunction.
Choosing, discovering and deciding are different stages of knowing what to do. Dēligō selects, comperiō finds out, and statuō determines or establishes. Give each an English action rather than memorising a loose cluster of mental verbs. Praedīcō is third conjugation here, as praedīcere shows, and ēdūcō leads out. Paulō and paulum both concern a little, but paulō can express the amount of a difference, a useful detail when a comparison is nearby. Placet is presented impersonally as it pleases or seems good. Challenge III assigns this list in week 19 while students discuss translated passages and stylistic effects. A useful preparation question is who makes the decision and on what information. Before the next page, distinguish selection from discovery, recognise placet's impersonal entry, and keep the different forms of little tied to their grammatical jobs.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-conjugation verbs (4), 1st-conjugation verbs (2), 4th-conjugation verbs (1), 2nd-conjugation verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge III, week 19.
Praedīcere identifies the third-conjugation verb listed here. The headword alone can conceal a difference from a similarly spelled verb.
Paulō can express by a little, especially an amount of difference. Paulum gives a little without automatically expressing that comparison.
