In the twenty-first module of the Latin from Scratch course, we’ll study the compounds of the verb sum and the most important irregular verbs. After that, we’ll practice with some isolated sentences.
Classes on the irregular verbs
- Compounds of the verb sum (07m 53s)
- The most frequent irregular verbs (08m 15s)
Practice: morphosyntactic analysis and translation (21)
In this occasion we will translate a few isolated sentences that are quite easy but will allow us to practice with the irregular verbs.

Natare posse prodest.
Hac nocte dormire non poteram.
Vos oramus ut discipuli acerrimi fiatis.

Phocion Atheniensis etsi saepe exercitibus praefuit summosque magistratus cepit, tamen multo eius notior integritas vitae {fuit} quam rei militaris labor.

Atticus, qui pecuniam simul cum ceteris conferre noluerat florenti illi parti, abiecto Bruto Italiaque cedenti HS centum milia muneri misit.

Review of the translations
Once you have finished with the analysis and translations, now it’s time to review them on the screen.
⚠️ Even if you think you’ve done everything correctly, it is very important for you to always check the review, since that’s where we actually practice and check what we have learned. You’ve already seen that the analysis-translation process is quite systematic and strict at first, precisely so we can absorb everything we’re doing.
In the following video () I analyze and translate the sentences:
👉 I'm working on this. It will be published soon!
In the next module we’ll study the imperative mood.
