26 § 204. A compound tense is one made up of a participle and an auxiliary verb.

Write on the board a number of simple Latin sentences to illustrate this principle of agreement, and, leaving off the termination of the participle in each case, call on the class to supply the proper terminations.

§ 206. Call attention to the fact that the future active participle and its allied form, the future active infinitive, are the only forms in the active voice based on the participial stem.

§ 207. The point to emphasize in this exercise is the agreement of the participle.

In I.7, ask what vocātī sumus would have meant.

LESSON XXXVI

§ 208. See to it that the principal parts and meanings of these verbs are thoroughly learned.

Caution against mistakes in accent and pronunciation, especially in the following:

Point out the changing quantity of i in videō and of e in veniō, and have the class distinguish between such forms as vīdēre and vidēre, venit and vēnit.

§ 209.I,2. These articles summarize preceding scattered work on prepositions. Show that by learning what prepositions govern the ablative we can recognize those that govern the accusative.

The complete list of prepositions governing the ablative includes also absque, cōram, prae, and tenus. They are omitted from the textbook because of their relatively infrequent use.

§ 210.a. The e in -ne has a very short, quick sound. The enclitic is added to the emphatic word in the question and that is usually the verb.
