Latin: A New Grammar: Latin grammar taught and explained, with examples
Like its Greek counterpart, this is a new grammar for both absolute beginners and students who already have a sound knowledge of the language but need to revise and enhance it. It can be used side by side with any textbook (Reading Latin, Wheelock's, Oxford Latin Course, etc.) as a reference and support grammar. • ALL NECESSARY GRAMMAR: With complete explanations, removing the need for the student to consult a larger or more advanced grammar after the initial stages. • CLEAR EXPLANATIONS: Grammar explained as if hearing the teacher’s voice from the whiteboard, with additional class-style comments included where necessary. • CLEAR STRUCTURE: Division into different blocks for the nominal system, the verbal system, syntax of cases and syntax of clauses, and internal subdivisions in each of these blocks for a completely clear presentation. • BASIC VOCABULARY: List of the most useful terms that follow a given scheme after it has been presented: nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc. • USE OF ORIGINAL AUTHORS: Combination of made-up examples, which allows the adaptation of any sentence to an easy level when necessary, and sentences taken from classical authors for more advanced students. • APPENDICES: Covering idiomatic expressions (both verbal and non-verbal expressions) and words easily confused (also both verbal and non-verbal forms). • EXERCISES IN AN ADDITIONAL BOOK (in preparation): Allowing the grammar itself to be kept to a more reasonable size and price, ideal for those who want only the grammar for consultation. • WHOLE GRAMMATICAL INDEX: All the grammatical terms relating to accidence and syntax (functions, types of verbs, kinds of subordinates, different uses of participles, etc.), alphabetically presented at the end of the book. • INDEX OF LATIN GRAMMATICAL WORDS: Lists all Latin words used in presenting and explaining grammatical functions and usage. The price of the book has been left lower than expected for a book of this size (348 pages) as it is a book aimed mainly at students.
