Pronouns:

• 2-1-2  // -ius // Q-group declensions  (Read this 3-page sheet from bottom to top -- i.e. Q-group is the first page, 2-1-2 is the last.)

  • nominative
  • genitive
  • dative

verb synopsis practice sheet -- a number of blank forms for verb synopsis practive.  At this point, ignore the passive side.  But if you like, for the present system you can fill in the same stems for active as for passive (i.e. up to the personal endings.
