A poet's education unfolds among people, places and acts of recognition. Poēta is masculine despite belonging to the first declension; the proper names on the page likewise need their recorded forms rather than guessed endings. Colō can mean cultivate, esteem or treat with honour, and its object will help select the sense. Dōnō explicitly records an accusative person with an ablative gift, a construction English give can conceal. Nāscor is deponent but naturally translates am born, showing why active versus passive English is not a purely mechanical test. No week number is attached to this list in the reference Challenge IV schedule. A useful seminar preparation is to identify who honours whom in your assigned reading and how the text describes learning. Before continuing, distinguish the people from the places, retain coluī and cultus with colō, and explain the two case roles after dōnō.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-declension nouns (5), 3rd-conjugation verbs (4), 2nd-declension nouns (4), 1st-declension nouns (3), 1st-conjugation verbs (3), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (3), 3rd-declension adjectives (1), deponent verbs (1).
It records the person in the accusative and the thing given in the ablative. Keep both roles visible when translating the construction.
No. Poēta is a masculine first-declension noun. Agreement follows its gender, not a guess based on the final letter.
