Instructions: Analyze the following English sentences by identifying their three basic
structural parts: (1) underline subjects (2) double underline verbs, (3) box off objects. Then
copy these onto the chart below and provide the corresponding Latin forms (putting subjects
and objects into the correct case) and write the correct case in parentheses after then noun.

REMEMBER ABOUT ENGLISH


 Subjects/verbs/objects are determined in English by word order.
 Subjects, verbs, and objects often consist of more than one word.
 Articles (“the,” “a(n)”) are attached to a noun.
 Conjunctions (“and,” “but”) connect two equivalent things (e.g., a subject and a subject, a verb
and a verb, an adverb and an adverb)
 Word order for adverbs is flexible.

REMEMBER ABOUT LATIN


 Subjects/verbs/objects are determined in Latin by ending. (For endings see p. 9.)
 Subjects are nominative case. Objects are accusative case. (For endings see p. 9.)
 One Latin word will often translate two or more English ones.
 Latin has no articles.
 Conjunctions and adverbs behave the same as in English.
