Title
Grammar and Syntax
Learning Outcome
Successful students should master Latin grammar and syntax. They should be able to recognize and identify grammatical and syntactical constructions. In other words, students should be able not only to identify the form of a Latin word, but also the function of that word. For example, a student should be able to identify a verb form as "third person singular present active subjunctive," and then explain why the subjunctive mood is being used.
