Deus tibi benedicat!  Dr. Licari...any questions?  (licari@mchsi.com)

Salve!

Assignment due: 9/6,7/10

1. Decline the noun "villa"  (first look the word up in the Latin-English vocabulary at the end of the textbook; follow the model for declining nouns and adjectives on p. 136)

2. Conjugate the verb "habitare" (first look the word up in the Latin-English vocabulary and follow the model for conjugating lst conjugation verbs found on p. 138)...HINT: do not confuse the word "habitare" with "habere"--the first is a first conjugation word and the second is a second conjugation verb)

N.B. (this is the abbreviation for the Latin: Nota Bene which means "Note Well")  Use a clean sheet of paper on which to write your homework; please write legibly--if I cannot read your homework: no grade; pleas PUT YOUR NAME on your work: no name, no grade!  Keep this in mind because I am not going to repeat this "N.B." in future assignments.

Remember: in Latin, we DECLINE nouns and adjectives and we CONJUGATE verbs :)
