Trak's End Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 My eldest daughter, 9th grade, is taking an amazing Latin III course through an online provider. I am looking at resources to help her as this class is also very demanding. She can translate much of her work but doesn't fully understand the constructions. Does anyone have ideas? Wheelock was covered in Latin I and II during middle school so everything Wheelock covers is assumed knowledge. Perhaps she just needs to review? The professor would like the students to explain the syntactic rationale behind the words and not just parsing. Knowing a word is accusative isn't enough; they need to know it is "accusative of respect depending on x." Quote
chiguirre Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 The Henle series has a concise volume of Latin grammar rules that lists all the reasons that a noun (and adjective) takes a particular case. It also has complete verb charts along with explanations of deponents, passive, subjunctive and all those thorny grammatical issues. https://www.amazon.com/Henle-Latin-Grammar-Robert-J/dp/0829401121/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=henle+grammar&qid=1576849862&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzU0xRSE1ERUJSVDlEJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjExNTcxMjVMQ0xWS1VWQkUwSSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjI1MjE5MlRSWFgzN1M1NVo0NiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= 1 Quote

While looking at the Henle material, I ran across Excelability in Advanced Latin: A Workbook for Students on Memoria Press's Website. Between Henle's grammar text and this workbook, we might have found just what she needs. 2 Quote
