These lessons in one or more sentences give you a pattern in Latin. Several sentences in English are then given, which you are to write as a Roman would write them in Latin. The frst lessons will follow the pattern rather closely. In later lessons you are expected to remember and use what you have learned before, and to follow your pattern not slavishly, but wisely.
