Week 63 Vocabulary Review

This week the quiz-slideshow focuses on infinitives! The -are and -ire forms are easy to recognize as the 1st and 4th declensions, but the -ere infinitives are tricky: they can be the 2nd declension (long e, so accented on the ending, like habere: hab-ERE) or 3rd declension (short e, so accented on the stem, like capere: CAP-ere). You can use the pronunciation guide on the slides to help you figure out which is which! And don't forget about the irregular infinitive of the verb "to be," esse.

Using the quiz-slideshow, you can check yourself by looking at the cat slide that follows the slide with the missing word(s). You can also begin at the end and work backwards, giving yourself a different kind of quiz: seeing the slide without English and trying to supply the English, checking your answer on the next slide, reviewing with the cat slide, and then seeing if you can fill in the blank.

Plus don't forget: on the slides that contain the English translation, the English is linked to the original blog post if you want some help in understanding the grammar of the saying.

Here is a link to the full-size quiz-show, and the show is embedded in the blog post here too: 

If you want to do even more reviewing (you cannot review too much!), here are the vocabulary review slideshows from previous weeks.
