Drill the words out loud 2 times and make flashcards for Adjectives of the Third Declension bottom of p. 96 to top of p. 97. Drill those adjectives a third time. When you drill them you should say, “ brevis, brevis, breve”, for example because the masculine and feminine forms are the same, thus “brevis, brevis,” and the neuter is “breve”. We will talk more about this in class on Tuesday. If you or your sibling does not own Henle 1^st Year, please order it right away, call me, and I can get these words to you before Tuesday.
