We are working through LC II and I'm wondering if there are any drill exercises that can be added to the exercises that are already in the book. I feel like my kids need more drill work, and there is not enough supplied in the LC books. In other words, I like the exercises in the student book, but I feel like there should be more of them. I am not comfortable enough with latin to be able to make up exercises on my own. Thanks.

I agree that it would be nice to have more exercises to go with LC2, but I find when my children use the Ludere (Games) alongside, they really learn alot and retain much more. They are called Games, but they are by no means "fluff". They have grammatical forms crosswords in which they have to know the different forms, and there are derivative crosswords.
We used the Ludere 1 books and we are just as happy with these. They are very challenging.
I hope this helps you in some way.

Thanks for the response. Yes we do use Latina Ludere, but I guess what I'm looking for, specifically, is more actual sentence translation exercises. Mainly dealing with the sentence structure we have studied so far up to lesson 11 in LC II (S, V; S, DO, V; S, DO, Prep Phr, V; S, LV, PN; S, LV, PA; and S, LV, PN or PA, and Prep Phr). My boys are really beginning to have a hard time with all of these keeping the endings of the nouns and verbs straight!
