The test will have these parts:

·         Vocabulary: Dictionary form and meaning in sentence from a reading passage, possibly plus a matching set like those in the Wednesday Class Notes.  Vocabulary will be from chapters 7-11.

·         Paradigms: Things like: give the forms of tempus, temporis, n; or give x tense of any verb. You will NOT be expected to complete paradigm charts of the demonstrative adjectives and pronouns.

·         Gender, Number, Case: Be able to give the gender, number and case of nouns that are underlined in a passage.  These will be nouns from our vocabulary lists from chapter 1-11.

·         Verb identification: identify tense, person and number from a readin passage 

·         Uses:  Multiple choice questions testing things like adjective agreement, objects of prepositions, verb agreement, using commands and infinitives, ablative uses, genitives, which case to use, which pronoun to use.   

·         Translation: A connected passage divided up into sentences.  For this, you will have a brief introduction to situate you, and usually some extra vocabulary words defined; give me as much as you can of everything, even if you are not sure, and when you are confident, be as precise as you can about singulars, plurals and tenses.

NOTE:  The vocabulary, gender-number-case, and verb ID sections will be taken from the reading passage.  In other words, any effort you put into reading to figure out meanings or cases etc., will pay off when you do the translation and vice versa.  You may want to consult the extra vocabulary words given before the translation to help you with meanings in the earlier sections of the test.
