jeri Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can anyone suggest a Latin Grammar book. Not a text, but a book that just lists charts of conjugations, declensions, and the like. Or maybe a web site? We use GP Latin prep and I wish they had all the grammar they go over in a handy-dandy form. Thanks. Jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayne J Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Try Memoria Press. I just bought the Henle Latin I set for myself, and one of the books is a grammar. Since it hasn't yet arrived:glare: I can't tell you for sure that it is what you are looking for, but it is my understanding that it is just what you are asking for. Memoria Press has a reputation for great latin materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 English Grammar for Students of Latin: The Study Guide for Those Learning Latin Amazon has this one. It might be what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It mainly gives explanations of different grammatical points. It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it is a very good companion to the reference charts in other books. If you want a book that lists charts of conjugations and declensions, the Student Latin Grammar from Cambridge University Press is good. Or Kennedy's New Latin Primer. Online, there are grammar handouts here: http://thelatinlibrary.com/101/index.html Memoria has a brief grammar overview here: http://www.memoriapress.com/help/ LOTS of help here: http://www.slu.edu/colleges/AS/languages/classical/latin/tchmat/gr-helps.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in MA Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 We're using Latin Prep and I know exactly what you're wanting! First of all, we started making our own reference guide in a small binder with page protectors. I made up some blank forms for nouns (with the cases, masc, fem, a place for declension, gender), adjectives, verbs, and printed blanks. We've fill them all out and file them in our binder so we have our own reference guide. It's great because there's also room to add notes. I also made a verb sheet that gives the four principal parts, definition and conjugation type for each verb. Then we've added in some miscellaneous pages like all those adverbs that pop up all the time. It's been a great way to summarize and reinforce what we've learned. Secondly, I also bought a copy of Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar, which is a reference book. I hardly ever open it since we've made our own reference guide, because I know where to find stuff. Now my only goal is to get that stuff in the binder memorized. . . yikes! It makes me appreciate how much we've covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly ever open it since we've made our own reference guide, because I know where to find stuff. This is a very good standard reference grammar, but it definitely has more rules than you need now. But it's a very good (and inexpensive) book. There's a paperback Dover edition that is about $15 or so. There's an online searchable version of Allen and Greenough here: http://old.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in Central TX Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I found this supplement for my Wheelock's study very helpful: http://www.bolchazy.com/prod.php?cat=latin&id=6668 In addition, they are extremely easy to reference since I can put them in my Latin binder (and not carry around an extra book). The pages are thick and sturdy, but I might still put them in page protectors to prolong their life. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicheleinMN Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yes, the blue book in Henle is the grammar book. try http://www.acbooks.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ACB&Product_Code=HN25x8e or http://www.allcatholicbooks.com search Henle Grammar http://www.amazon.com/Latin-Grammar-Henle-Robert/dp/0829401121/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253148977&sr=8-1 ISBN-10: 0829401121 HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie in OR Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I second Henle Grammar. I have a couple of different ones (Cambridge and something else) and really prefer how streamlined and organized Henle is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
