Rule 56: The Ablative with dignus and indignus

This video is a sequel to rule 55, since the adjectives dignus and indignus take an ablative of respect (also known as the ablative of specification), to show what something is worth (or unworthy) of. I hope this video is worthy of your time, and I'm worthy of your views!

Rule 79: Words of Worth with the Subjunctive

The adjectives dignus, indignus, aptus, and idōneus can take a relative clause with the subjunctive - this is really an extension of the relative clause of characteristic, which we will explore in greater detail in this video. While poets might prefer to use an infinitive phrase, this specific type of relative clause is common in prose.

Introducing Rapid Scan on Hexameter.co

I've added a new activity over at hexameter.co called Rapid Scan. My goal is to help create a natural ability at scanning lines quickly and naturally. You have five minutes to get as many lines correct as you can (don't worry, you get easy lines to start), and your attempt is over when you get three lines incorrect. Subscribers get unlimited access to Rapid Scan, and other users are limited to just three attempts each day. Climb the charts! Challenge yourself!

Rule 38: The Accusative with Verbs of Teaching and Showing

In the last two videos, I've been covering verbs that take two accusatives, and this is the final video on that topic: verbs of teaching and showing can take two different objects, one of the person being taught/shown, and one of the thing being taught/shown. I am teaching you (acc of person) Latin (acc of thing).

Rule 91: Clauses Depending on Subjunctive Clauses

The last of our 91 rules discusses the subjunctive of attraction. In short, when a subordinate clause depends on another subjunctive clause, the verb in that clause will likely be in the subjunctive as well. That said, this isn't a hard and fast rule, and you can easily find examples in Latin that don't follow this rule.

Rule 54: The Ablative of Price

If you want to buy something for a couple of bucks, in Latin you'd use the ablative case. This is similar to a use of the genitive, called the genitive of value, although we use the ablative for more definitive prices. And in this video, we learn about the favorite phrase of many a Latin student, floccī nōn faciō, "I don't give a hoot" (or "I don't care at all"). Let's hope you do about Latin and this video!

Rule 87: Tenses in Indirect Statement

As we continue exploring indirect speech in Latin, it's important to think about the tense of the verb / infinitive in an indirect statement. Infinitives have only three tenses, and we need to think about these tenses as reflecting relative rather than absolute time. So a present infinitive shows an action happening at the same time as the head verb, a perfect infinitive an action has is already complete with the head verb occurs, and a future infinitive an action that has yet to happen.
