What will be on the midterm:

  1. Write out the lines of poetry you have memorized. Between 10 and 25%.
    1. You have to remember what you memorized for the first midterm too! That's fair game here.
  2. Grammar: 5-20%
      1. Why are verbs subjunctive? Know the following reasons:
      2. Independent subjunctives:
        1. subjunctive of the will (aka hortatory and jussive)
        2. deliberative subjunctive
      3. Dependent clause subjunctives
        1. Purpose, fear, and result clauses
        2. Cum-causal and cum-concessive clauses
        3. cum clauses referring to time before leading verb
        4. all indirect speech clauses that are not indirect statement
          1. indirect commands
          2. indirect questions
          3. subordinate clauses within indirect speech
        5. Nominal ut (or ne) clauses
          1. These occur when the ut clause is the subject of a verb like prodest.
          2. They can also be direct objects of verbs.
        6. Concessive ut clauses: where "ut" means "although"
        7. Relative Clauses of Characteristic
          1. for example: sunt qui carnem edant "they are the sort of people who eat flesh"
        8. dum proviso clauses: when dum means "provided that"
          1. when dum just means "at the same time as" or "while," it takes indicative mostly
      4. Conditional subjunctive:
        1. Future less vivid: "should-would": present subjunctive in both protasis and apodosis
          1. si hoc facias, ego te amem "if you should do that, I would love you"
        2. Present contrary to fact: imperfect subjunctive in both protasis and apodosis
          1. si hoc faceres, ego te amarem "If you were doing that (but you are not), I would love you"
        3. Past contrary to fact: pluperfect subjunctive in both protasis and apodosis
          1. si hoc fecisses, ego te amavissem "If you had done that (but you did not), I would have loved you"
    1. Fill in the blanks of the following table which determines which "tense" of the subjunctive to use:
      Leading verb on which subjunctive clause depends
      Subjunctive verb in dependent clause
      Primary Sequence: leading verb refers to speaker or writer's present or future time
      Present subj for things happening at the same time or after leading verb
      Perfect subj for things happening before time of leading verb
      Secondary Sequence: leading verb refers to speaker or writer's past time
      Imperfect subj for things happening at the same time or after leading verb

      Pluperfect subj for things happening at the same time of after leading verb
  1. Every text we have read in class will be on the exam. Within that text, some words will be underlined, some will be bold-faced. You will have to say what FORM some are and what FUNCTION others fill. 20-35%.
    1. Form includes things like case, number, gender, person, voice, mood, and part of speech.
      1. amant is 3rd person present active indicative of amare, a verb.
      2. puellas is feminine plural accusative of puella
    2. Function includes things like:
      1. "Indicative for ordinary main verb of a sentence"
      2. "Subjunctive because it's indirect command. Present because it's primary sequence."
      3. "Accusative because it's the object of a preposition. Plural masculine because it's modifying viros."
      4. "Nominative because it's a predicate nominative."
      5. "Adverbial prepositional clause modifies verb amant."
  2. Translation: you will have to translate some text that we have read. There will be some sight translation. 20-35%
