The explanations of how verse works in that chapter is the clearest explanation I've come across, even though it's written in Latin.For me, it was Cap. XXXIV, because poetry is usually more difficult, and there's a lot of it in there.
The next class, we had a test on the Roman calendar. We were to convert Gregorian dates to Roman dates and vice-versa.... luckily enough, because I was a geek to Latin, I had perfectly learnt that some day prior to it... That was one thing I completely removed from my mind in the next years, the most useless thing to learn in Latin (that is, unless you count knowing that Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March etc.)I haven't completed the book, but thus far capituli viii and xiii have been the hardest. In capitulo viii there are way too many pronouns introduced. Capitulum xiii is tedious because it is filled with more abstract things pertaining to dates and seasons.
nefas!That was one thing I completely removed from my mind in the next years, the most useless thing to learn in Latin
Nonnē tib vīs "... Kal. Sextīlēs" scrībere? Nōn sat Ciceroniānus es!Kal. Aug.
Yes, all of those forms of quis, qui, is, and ille: I found them easy to read, probably because of previous study, but difficult to master, by which I mean that I would be able to use the proper forms when generating speech or writing.In capitulo viii there are way too many pronouns introduced.
is something that I barely noticed when reading, but that, too, is something that tripped me up a little when trying to master the material. Not as much, though, as the pronouns in Cap. VIII.The whole idea of the ablative of price
