Faithr Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We are at the same place right now. It is a lot to assimilate, isn't it? We've just been chanting them off and on for the last two days. I've actually been carrying around copies of the paradigms in my car and whenever we've had a few minutes I've forced the poor boy to chant them out loud and then be quizzed by me.

Sebastian (a lady) Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Try this page of chapter linked exercises for Wheelock's Chapter 9 exercises BTW, what my son did was write the chart, then write one line without looking and copy the rest. Then write two lines without looking and copy the rest. Repeat until he could write the whole chart for each demonstrative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Demonstratives can function as pronouns when used alone. (hic = this man; illa = that woman), or they can also function as adjectives, in which case they agree in case, number, and gender with the noun they modify (hic puer = this boy, illa puella = that girl, illi libri = those books). You do have to memorize the complete forms of hic and ille for all the cases, genders, and sing/plural. Easier said than done!! :tongue_smilie: Many students chant the forms till they become second nature (hic, haec, hoc,...ad nauseum) Wheelocks fortunately has lots of great online helps...I found a few for Ch 9: flashcards on quizlet drill on hic & ille Dale Grote's study guide for ch.9 explanations and drills more drills or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unlike for nouns and adjectives, it's easier to memorize these (and all the pronouns) "across" instead of "down", as there are more patterns there. That is memorize in this order: "hic, haec, hoc, huius, huius, huius, huic, huic, huic", and not "hic, huius, huic, hunc..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
