In the fifth module of the Latin from Scratch course, we’ll learn the most frequent tense in historical texts such as those of Julius Caesar, Livy, Tacitus, etc.

On this occasion we will translate a few simple sentences and a couple of short stories: about the death of Aegeus, father of Theseus, and a brief summary of the Trojan War.

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 (⏳ 23m 35s ⌛) I analyze and translate the sentences:
