FORMAT : Oxford Latin Course, Book III…with a focus on

Latin 3 H –Woo-Hoo! Nōmen

Dr. McGay Final Review Checklist, page 1

FORMAT : Mostly multiple choice and matching, with some short answer and short

translation. The synopses (1 normal, and 1 deponent) will be matching. And you

will have to fill in the missing noun/adjective endings in a chart.

General FOCUS: Material/information in Oxford Latin Course, Book III…with a focus on from

ch. 39 to chapters at the end of the book, as follows:

1) Grammar up to ch. 52.

2) Vocabulary & Derivatives, ch. 40 up to ch. 50 (see vocab lists, your cards & matching wrkshts)

3) Culture: from 43 to Ch. 54

TIPS for studying Vocabulary:

1) Review your vocabulary cards : make a pile of the words you don’t know, and work

on that pile of unfamiliar words until they are learned.

2) Fill out the new matching vocab exercises.

3) Fill out the Vocabulary Packets with the 3 columns…(see vocab lists on my website) 4) Have someone you trust quiz you on meanings and have them ask you to give derivatives.

5) Record them & play them back before you go to sleep. 6) Recite them to a pet or stuffed animal: Do whatever it takes to learn the words thoroughly!

TIPS for studying Culture:

1) Read and review the culture packet.

2) Review class notes.

3) Time permitting, make study cards of the different terms, important dates and

historical figures, gods and heroes, etc.

4) Review Roman Numerals – time-permitting.

TIPS for studying GRAMMAR:

1) Review class notes and my thorough chapter worksheets, initially the “what’s

in ch. X” sections.

2) Practice (a) verb synopses and (b) noun/ending charts

3) Use ch. 54 as an extra review chapter.

4) Go through the grammar cards – g.c. documents on the website.

Chapter 46:

Review Chapter – remember we

translated 46.3?

Prepositions/Adverbs turned into

comparatives and superlatives (page 161)

Houses (page 81)

Chapter 47:

USES OF CUM – CUM CLAUSES (page

161-2)

1. Conjunction cum means “when”

most often (page 161)

1. a. If the cum clause follows the main

clause, the indicative is used (page 162)

1.b. If cum means “whenever”, then the

indicative is used (page 162)

2. Primary Sequence: cum means

“when” with a present or future idea, the

indicative is used (page 162)

3. When conjunction cum means

“since,” the subjunctive is always used

(page 162)

4. When conjunction cum means

“although,” the subjunctive is always used,

and tamen (but still, even so) is usually

found in the main clause (page 162)

USES OF DUM – DUM CLAUSES (page

163)

1. Most commonly, dum means “while”

and is followed by a present indicative

(page 163)

1.a. But, if the action of the dum clause

goes on throughout the action of the main

clause, the imperfect is used (page 163)

2. dum can mean “until” and is usually

followed by the indicative (page 163)

2.a. If the dum clause expresses

purpose, it takes the subjunctive (page

163)

The CONNECTING RELATIVE (page

163-4)

P.S. 1.: Shortened 3rd person plural

perfect, where –ērunt is shortened to –ēre

(page 164)

P.S. 2.: Alternate Verb forms, where a –

v- or –vi- is omitted (page 164)

P.S. 3.: Alternate future infinitive of

sum: fore = futūrus/a/um esse (page 149

and 164)

P.S. 4.: Alternate forms of the

imperative (page 164)

P.S. 5.: Alternate 2nd person singular,

from –ris -re (page 164)

P.S. 6.: (1) Alternate ablative singular

for –i-stem nouns: -ī; (2) Alternate

accusative plural for –i-stem nouns: -īs

(page 164)

Divorce (page 87)

Chapter 48:

Clauses of Fearing (page 165) –1.

introduced by nē

2. negative feat clauses use nē+ a

negative, e.g., nōn or numquam (page 165)



3. If there is no change in subject, use

an infinitive and not a nē-clause (page

165)

NB 1: the use of the reflexives – sē and

suus/a/um in fear clauses (page 165)

NB 2: the translation of perfect

participles of deponent verbs (page 165)

Inscription on a triumphal arch (page

166)

Cleopatra (page 92)

Chapter 49:

I. IMPERSONAL VERBS (page 167)

To translate most impersonal verbs, use

“it” to translate into English. Ex.: ningit =

it is snowing

Many Latin impersonal verbs are not

used impersonally in English: me oportet =

I ought

most commonly govern the accusative

or dative case of the person. mihi licet = I

may

impersonal verbs often take a

complementary infinitive.

II. Intransitive verbs in the passive (page

168)

Intransitive verbs must be used

impersonally in the passive

Verbs of motion in the passive

impersonal you must supply a subject

from the context

Verbs which take the dative are used

impersonally in the passive: mihi

persuadetur = I am persuaded.

P.S. The genders of 3rd Declension

nouns (page 169)

Caesar Augustus (page 97)

Chapter 50:

GERUNDS (page 169-170)

Gerunds decline like 2nd Declension

neuter nouns, only in the singular (page

169)

If the gerund is the subject or direct

object, the infinitive is used instead of an –

nd- form.

Use of the gerund with ad to show

purpose (page 170)

Use of the gerund in the genitive case

preceding causā to show purpose (page

170)

The gerund in the ablative case usually

expresses cause or means (page 170)

NB 1: The gerund of eo is ire, eundi,

eundo, eundum, eundo (page 170)

NB 2: Be sure to distinguish between

the English gerund and the present

participle, which both end in “-ing” in

English (page 170)

P.S. Funerary Inscription for a Vestal

Virgin, and one for a British lady (page

171)

Vixi puellis (page 102)

Chapter 51:

GERUNDIVES (page 172) – which

decline like any –us, -a, -um adjective

Gerundives are more commonly used,

instead of a gerund when the there is an

object – keep in mind the case needed 1st,

then gender and number of the noun (page

172)

Use of the gerundive with ad to show

purpose (page 172)

Use of the gerundive in the genitive

case preceding causā to show purpose (p.

172, sentence # 2)

The gerundive in the ablative case

usually expresses cause or means (p. 172,

sentence # 7)

NB 1: The gerundive of deponent verbs

is translated passively. (page 172)

P.S. Two epigrams (page 173)

The Roman Empire (page 107)



Chapter 52:

GERUNDIVES of Obligation – aka the

“passive periphrastic” (page 174)

Gerundives with the helping verb

(form of sum, esse) show necessity,

obligation (p. 174)

The Dative of Agent with gerundives of

obligation (page 174)

The gerundive of intransitive verbs is

often used impersonally (page 174)

The gerundive showing purpose as the

object of curo, mitto & do (page 174)

P.S. Memorabilia – famous lines from

Vergil (page 175)

Some glimpses of Augustus (page 114)

Chapter 53: The Double Dative Predicative Dative (aka, Dative of

Purpose)

Expressions that take the Double Dative

Relative Clauses of Purpose (subjunctive)

quō Purpose Clauses (with a comparative

adjective or adverb)

The town mouse and the country

mouse (page 120)

Chapter 54: Summary of the Uses of ut

ut + indicative (“as”, “when”, “since”)

ut + subjunctive:

a. in purpose clauses (see ch. 34)

b. in indirect commands (see ch. 35)

c. in result clauses (see ch. 43)

other uses of ut not in this book (see
