"This session, we continued reviewing the material we had covered previously, working with all of the noun cases other than the ablative, and verbs in the present tense. This time, we added in the future and imperfect tenses, and I showed them how they use mostly the same endings as the present tense, but with an added suffix. So, we worked on creating various sentences in the different tenses, and exploring changing the meaning from singular to plural, 3rd to 2nd person, etc., simply by changing an ending."

"In our session, the student and I began Exercise 22.2, a combined translation and prose composition exercise. He had to provide the proper Latin verb forms for the English verbs in parentheses and then translate the complete Latin sentences into English. For each sentence, I asked him to identify the person, number, and tense of each English verb in parentheses and then look up the Latin verb in the back of his textbook. Providing Latin verb forms presented an opportunity to review the principle parts of verbs used to build each tense. Before translating the complete Latin sentences, I asked him to identify the noun cases and then the subject(s), direct object(s), and indirect object(s). His parsing was better this session than last. "

"In this session we covered the perfect, imperfect and pluperfect tenses and how they function grammatically in Latin sentence structure. The passive voice, in present, imperfect, and future tenses was also covered as were some subjects of cultural and historic context for the Roman Empire and Latin language."

"Since the student had been on break, we spent the session working on basic underlying translation skills such as recognizing grammatical forms and matching forms with cases and case usages. We practiced with translations from the early chapters of the book. She developed a pretty decent understanding of the parts of a sentence and did some excellent translating."

"Did full review for the student's upcoming Latin final, including noun and verb forms (all 3 declensions and all 3 verb tenses), with emphasis on the ability to apply charts of forms to actual Latin sentences (i.e. what spot in the chart means what case/tense, and what the noun cases means in terms of grammar - subject, direct object, indirect object).
