Week 84 Catch-Up Day

Here is the new catch-up day post for the past two weeks of sayings using 5th-declension nouns, focusing on spes and dies. As usual, there is a cat-show of those sayings, plus a link to the downloadable crossword and the self-quiz.

Meanwhile, the admittedly wacky Vergil project carries on; we're now on Lesson 40: A New Beginner's Latin: THE AENEID. Take a look if you are curious! 

And now here are the past two weeks of lessons here:

• #235: The Fifth Declension
• #236: More spes, more hope!
• Week 83 Vocabulary Review
• #237: Sayings about the day
• #238: One more day of "dies" sayings

So, let's start with the slideshow with all the sayings. You can read out loud, first with the English to remind you of the vocabulary... and then read out loud again with the cat!

I also made a printable crossword PDF as usual, and the same prompts for the crossword are used in the quiz questions below. Enjoy!
