About This Book

A concise, school-oriented Latin grammar begins with an introduction to the language's Indo-European origins and then treats sounds, accent, and vowel quantity before explaining noun and adjective declensions, verb conjugations, pronouns, and particles. It covers word formation and compounding, followed by a detailed syntax section on sentence types, clause structures, moods, indirect discourse, and the uses of cases. A prosody unit addresses verse structure and meters, while supplements supply the Roman calendar, naming conventions, rhetorical figures, and indexes to examples and principal verb forms. The text aims to present essential rules clearly for secondary and undergraduate study.
