Year 3 · Grade 5: And, Or, and Because
Recognize -que, -ne, aut, quod, quot, and igitur as chunks. No chart yet.
What to notice
- -que and aut
- -ne as a question
- quod, quot, and igitur
Explanation
Puer puellaque means the boy and the girl. The little -que sticks to the second word and means and. Aut means or, as in panis aut aqua, bread or water. Videsne? means Do you see? The -ne sticks on and makes a question.
Quod in this lesson means because. Quot asks how many. Igitur means and so, or therefore, like ergo. Learn the chunks. The longer question patterns wait for a later year.
