FFL question

[Jenchick1@aol.com]

Hello! I have a couple of minor questions regarding FFL. I just want to make sure that I am Keeping up clearly with my daughter.
In Lesson 3/ Worksheet 4, The Form drills list 'we overcome." In the teachers answer guide it is listed as a future tense. Both my daughter and I were confused with the absence of the word 'will' so we selected it as the present tense. Is this a misprint or did we miss something?
Also in the same lesson where you are asked to diagram Superabo we were wondering why in the teachers manual the (o) is singled out as the subject as opposed to (bo) as the subject.
Thank you for your time and explanation!
Jennifer

The downloadable correction sheet for FF Latin states that it should be "Superamus" Present tense. That correction sheet is printable and very helpful!

I just copied and pasted the whole PDF page for you and hit "submit" and it disappeared to nowhere. GRRRR. I'll try it again. I remembered I found it on the First Form Latin Yahoo Group, not this forum, and since it's in PDF form I don't know how to get it to you. The corrections aren't listed on this forum for some reason. Okay here goes (again!!):

============================================

=========================================

So there it is. I had to tweak it slightly to make it more readable, since the PDF was in chart form that I can't reproduce here. Oh -- don't confuse the `' marks for accent marks. They were used here for quotes, as in:

"This" should be "That". But MM wrote it like `This' should be `That'. No accent marks here!

Hope this helps!

Jennifer,

In answer to this question:

Also in the same lesson where you are asked to diagram Superabo we were wondering why in the teachers manual the (o) is singled out as the subject as opposed to (bo) as the subject.

The 'o' ending in Latin stands for the pronoun 'I.' The 'b' is your tense sign, telling you that this word is in the future tense and should be translated with the helping verb 'will.' I stands alone as your subject.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Tanya
