NOTE: You would have to guess with angulö since it’s probably not a word you know (m or n) – I will only give you words you really should know on the test. Also, #6 is one of those rare masculine 1st declension words. You actually can tell it’s masculine because of the adjective with it (Latinö) but I’m not planning to pick the most obscure grammatical points for the test, either.

 

Part IV: Verbs: Write the number of the dictionary form and the letter of the meaning of the perfect tense words in the list below. NOTE: On the test there are 12 of these so of course it’s harder. This is just so you know what you’ll see.

ex. appelavï 2 E
  1. I closed
  1. ascendö, -ere
ascendï ‘3 A
  1. I named
  1. claudö, -ere
gessï 4 C
  1. I climbed
  1. gerö, -ere
clausï 1 B
  1. I carried/ wore
  1. vertö, -ere
vertï 5 D
  1. I turned
  1. appellö, -äre
