Latin II charts and explanations
Peel the onion layer by layer. Meaning, you'll want to tackle adjective and adverbs with thought and practice. Layer by layer. "Let's talk grammar and you'll grow from wise to wiser in Latin. Third declension adjectives are grouped in 3 categories: those with three endings like acer, acris, acre; those with two endings like brevis, breve; and those with one ending like audax. Regardless of endings, third declension adjectives decline using third declension i-stem endings. Remember that adjectives agree in gender, number and case with the nouns they modify. Don't forget that all adverbs are formed from adjectives and adverbs do not decline. Lastly both adjectives and adverbs have a positive degree like wise, wisely; a comparative degree like wiser, more wisely; and a superlative degree like wisest and most wisely. Be sure to review the irregular degree forms of both adjectives and adverbs."
