PART II.

EXERCISES ON THE RULES AND EXAMPLES.

G

For the first Ten Exercises, both Latin and English, a Vocabulary is provided at the end of the book.

The letters (a), (e), or (i), after a Verb denote that it belongs to the First, Second, or Fourth Conjugation, and is quite regular.

If nothing is added to a Noun ending in a, it is of the First Declension; and of the Feminine gender, unless it be the name of a male.

If nothing is added to a Noun ending in us, or um, it is of the Second Declension, and of the Masculine, or Neuter gender.

If nothing is added to an Adjective ending in us, or is, it is declined like Bonus or Tristis.

Neither Numeral, nor Pronominal, Adjectives are given in the Vocabulary, as they may be easily learnt in the Primer.

After the first Ten Exercises the pupil will be able to consult with advantage a Latin Dictionary for the Latin Exercises: and for the words in the English Exercises only the Latin equivalent will be given ; which the pupil should look out in his Latin Dictionary.
