| Dec 7, 2016 at 6:53 | comment | added | Ben Kovitz | @user3131341 Part of the glory of Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata is that it doesn't explain very much about this kind of thing. The book is written entirely in Latin; you infer both vocabulary and grammar from context. So, it is only natural, and indeed an essential part of the learning process, to occasionally find yourself puzzled about things like this. Usually the answer dawns on you after a while, but it's wise to ask a question when you're stuck, too. (FWIW, I recommend completely eschewing all the English-language supplementary materials.) | |

The passages (at least in the first part of the book) consist of 3 - 4 pages. As you can imagine, 'Chapter 6' is still very basic language, just touching on passive voice for the first time, etc. | |

Welcome to the site! If you have questions about Latin or answers to existing questions, go ahead and post them. | |
