Lesson Fifty-Eight : Quid agunt puerī? / by Anthony Gibbins

Salvēte, sodālēs.

Believe it or not, you now have almost everything you need to complete your reading of Capitulum Quīntum.

The only word left to introduce is agit/agunt - a versatile verb that more or less means do. Quid agit puer? means What is the boy doing? Quid agunt puellae? means What are the girls doing?

This verb can also be used in the imperative form (the form of the verb used for giving orders) to mean something like Come on! Here are two examples, one singular and one plural:

Age, Mārce! carpe rōsās. Come on, Marcus! pick roses.

Agite, puerī! carpite rōsās et eās in aquā ponite! Come on, boys! pick roses and put them in water.

Now READ lines 77-105.

from Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illustrāta, pages 36 & 37.

Well, congratulation on completing Capitulum Quīntum. If you have any questions at all, please leave them in the comments. And if you are following the lessons, I’d love to hear how you are finding them.

Satis est. See you shortly.
