Lesson Sixty-Four : Post Meridiem / by Anthony Gibbins

Salvēte, sodālēs.

Today’s lesson is a short one, although it does introduce four new words.. Let’s begin with the two new prepositions, which are both followed by an acūsātīvus - ante and post. The margin tells us that they are opposites, and if you are familiar with the expressions ante meridiem (am) and post meridiem (pm) you may already know their meanings.

Then we have two question words - quō? and unde?. The margin tells us that these are opposites as well.

Now READ Capitulum Sextum, lines 31-36. Use the illustration and think about the characters’ journey to deduce the meanings of the new words. If necessary, you can check your deductions after the reading.
