The references are to the paragraph numbers (§ N) and the original page numbers (p. N) of Latin for Beginners. These numbers are unlikely to coincide with the page numbers of a PDF file, in case you're using one of those. The page numbers of a PDF file are often just a running pagination number, whereas the original page numbers of Latin for Beginners do not consider the book's front cover and index, for example, as being part of the numbering.

Marcus: Who is the man, Cornelius, with the little boy? Is he Roman and free? Cornelius: He isn't a Roman, Marcus. That man is a slave and his dwelling place is in the forests of Gaul. M: Is the boy a son of this slave or another? C: The boy is the son of neither. He is the son of the lieutenant Sextus. M: Where does the boy hurry to with that slave? C: He is hurrying to Sextus' wide fields with the slave. All the grain is already ripe and a large number of slaves are working in the fields of Italy. M: Are the Gauls farmers and do they plough the fields of their fatherland? C: They aren't farmers. The Gauls love war, not agriculture. Among them the men fight and the women, with the help of the children, plough fields and     prepare food. M: Our teacher often tells us boys and girls pleasing stories of the Gauls, and he often praises them. C: Bad is their fate and the wretched slaves often long for their fatherland with many tears.

Now we are and will be happy. S: Have you been to school today? M: We weren't in school today, because the teacher was ill. S: Will you be in school soon. M: My friends will be there, but I will not be. S: Why won't you be there? The teacher, often angry, doesn't praise your lack of zeal and industry. M: I was recently ill and now I am weak.

Niobe, queen of the Thebans, was a beautiful woman yet proud. She was proud not only because of her beauty and the power of (her) husband but also due to her great number of children. For she had seven sons and seven daughters. But this pride was the cause of great sadness to the queen and the cause of hard/cruel punishment to her children.

Apollo and Diana were children of Latona. The Thebans prepared frequent sacrifices to/for them. The townspeople loved Latona and her children. This was troublesome to the proud queen. "Why?" said the queen, "are you preparing sacrifices for Latona and her children? Latona has two children; I have fourteen. Where are my sacrifices?" Latona, angry because of these words, calls her children. Apollo and Diana fly to her, and destroy the wretched children of the proud queen with their arrows. Niobe, recently happy, now wretched, sits among her slain children and longs for them with perpetual tears.

Among the ancient ladies, Cornelia, daughter of Africanus, was especially famous. Her sons were Tiberius Gracchus and Gaius Gracchus. These boys lived with Cornelia in the town of Rome, the most famous town of Italy. There Cornelia took care of them and there she taught them with great zeal. Cornelia was a good woman, and she loved good discipline most of all.

Next to the dwelling place of Cornelia was the abode of the beautiful Campana. Campana was proud not only because of her beauty but most of all because of her jewels. She was always praising them. “Do you have any jewels, Cornelia?” she says. “Where are your jewels?” Then Cornelia calls her sons Tiberius and Gaius. “My boys”, she says, “are my jewels. For good children always are especially bright jewels for a good woman.”

Perseus was the son of Juppiter, the greatest of the gods. The poets tell many stories about him. The gods favour him, they give him magical armour and wings. Armed with these weapons and supported by the wings he flew to many lands, destroyed savage monsters and gave aid to the wretched and the weak. Ethiopia is a land of Africa. Cepheus rules this land. Neptunus, the greatest god of the waters, was angry with him and he sends a savage monster to Ethiopia. There the monster not only harmed the wide and beautiful fields of Ethiopia, but also destroyed the dwellings of the farmers and killed many men, women and children. The people fled from the fields and fortified the towns with strong walls. Then Cepheus, moved by great sadness, hurries to Juppiter’s oracle and speaks as follows: “My friends are killed, my fields are being devastated. Hear my words, Juppiter. Give help to the wretched. Drive the savage monster out of my fatherland.”

Then the oracle answers as follows: “Bad is your fortune. Neptunus, the great god of the waters, (who is) hostile to the land of Ethiopia, sends these punishments. But prepare a suitable offering for the angry god and the savage monster will be driven from your fatherland. Your daughter Andromeda is pleasing to the monster. Give her to the monster. Save your dear fatherland and the life of your people.” Andromeda, however, was a beautiful girl. Cepheus loved her very much.

Marcus: Where have you been, Titus and Quintus? Titus: I've been to my school and Quintus has been to his school. We've been good boys. Has Sextus been in the village today? M: He has. He was hurrying through the fields near the river recently. There he and Cornelius have a boat. T: A boat, you say? Tell someone else that story! M: Yes, truly, a beautiful new boat. Quintus: With whose money do Sextus and Cornelius prepare that boat? Who gives them the money? M: The friends of Cornelius have much gold and the boy doesn't lack money. T: Where will the boys sal to? Will they sail far from land? M: Their plans are doubtful. But today, I believe, if the wind is (will be) suitable, they will sail to the biggest island. They have been there before already. Then, however, the wind was treacherous and the boys were in great danger. Q: Water moved by the wind is always hostile to sailors, and often the treacherous wind seizes the boats and drives and destroys them. Those boys, if they won’t be very careful, will be overcome by the angry water and strong wind and thus be killed.

Cepheus, moved very much by the adverse fortune, has left and has told the words of the oracle to the people of Ethiopia with many tears. The fate of Andromeda, a beautiful girl, was lamented by all the people, yet there was no help. Then Cepheus, filled with sadness (with a heart full of sadness) led his dear daughter out of the towngate to the water and bound her arms to hard rocks. Then the friends of the poor girl went far away and waited a long time for the savage monster.

Then Perseus, supported by wings, flew by chance over Ethiopia. He saw the people, Andromeda, and the tears and he went down to earth exceedingly astounded. Then Cepheus told him about all his worries and spoke as follows: I will obey the words of the oracle, and give my daughter for my fatherland; but if you will kill that monster and save Andromeda, I will give her to you.

Perseus was always eager for battle and he answered: “Your words are very pleasing,” and gladly* he prepared his magical armour. Suddenly the monster is seen; it hastens quickly through the water and approaches Andromeda. Her friends are far away and the poor girl is alone. Perseus, however, flew over the water without delay. Suddenly he came down and wounded the savage monster severely with his hard sword. For a long time the battle is fought, for a long time the fight is doubtful. Finally, however, Perseus killed the monster and carried back the victory. Then he came to the stone, freed Andromeda, and led her to Cepheus. He, recently wretched, now glad, spoke as follows: “with your help, my friend, my dear girl is free; Andromeda is yours.” For a long time Perseus lived there with Andromeda and was loved greatly by all the people.

Once upon a time the Sabines were waging war with the Romans and had gained many victories. Already they were laying waste the fields next to the walls; already they were approaching the town. However the Romans had fled onto the Capitol and were far away from peril. They believed in strong walls and high rocks. In vain the Sabines hurled their weapons; in vain they attacked the strong gates; they could not take possession of the fort. Then they made a new plan. Tarpëia was a pretty, proud Roman girl. Daily she carried water to the Roman troops. The Sabines did not harm her because she had no weapons and the Sabines did not wage war with women and children. Tarpëia loved ornaments made of gold very much. Daily she saw the gold ornaments of the Sabines and soon she began to long for them. One of the Sabines said to her: “Lead the Sabine forces within the gates, O Tarpëia, and very great will be your rewards.”

Tarpëia, excited because of the Sabines’ beautiful ornaments, could not resist and replied: “Give the ornaments that you wear on (your) left arms to me, and I shall quickly lead your forces into the fort.” And the Sabines did not refuse; but through the tough, great gates of the fort they hastened to where Tarpëia led (them) and soon they stood between the firm and high walls. Then, without delay, they harshly threw (their) shields onto Tarpëia; for they were also bearing shields on their left arms! Thus was the treacherous girl, Tarpëia, killed; in this way did the Sabines take possession of the fort.

Once upon a time the Cimbri and the Teutons, people of Germany, had approached Italy with their wives and children, and they had conquered the Roman forces with a very great battle. When the flight of the legions was announced, the fear of all Rome was very great, and the Romans, heavily moved, made frequent sacrifices to the gods and sought safety.

Then Manlius, the orator, strengthened the hearts of the people as follows: “We have suffered (received) a great defeat. Our towns are taken by the Cimbri and the Teutons, our farmers are killed, our fields are laid waste, the troops of the savages are approaching Rome. If we, therefore, do not fight a new battle with new spirits and drive the Germans out of our fatherland without delay, there will be no safety for our women and children. Save the children! Save our fatherland! Previously, we were overcome because our generals were weak. Now Marius, the famous general, who has gained many other victories already, will lead the legions and he will hasten to free our minds from the Cimbrian terror.”

At that time, Marius was waging war in Africa. He was called from Africa to Italy without delay. He made a levy of new troops not only on the whole of Italy but also on the provinces of the allies. Moreover, he trained the soldiers with severe discipline and continuous labour. Then he quickly hastened with the foot soldiers and the horsemen, who were already eager for battle, to the camp of the Germans. The battle was long and fiercely contested. At last, the savages fled and many were killed by the horsemen during their flight. Marius was called father of the fatherland.

<ol type="I" start="1"> <li> The safety of the allies was always dear to the Romans. Once upon a time, the Gauls, friends of the Romans, had received many wrongs from the Germans, who lived across the Rhine river. When ambassadors came from them to Caesar, the Roman general, and asked for help, the Romans hurried with long (great) marches (= a forced march) to   the territory of the enemies. Soon they came to the banks of the great river. The general was eager to lead his troops across the river, but he could by no way (do that). He had no ships. The water was deep. However, the distinguished commander, (who was) never moved by adverse fortune, made a new plan. He ordered his men to build a bridge over the wide river. Never before had a bridge been seen over the Rhine. When the enemies saw the bridge that the Romans had built, moved by   the greatest fear, they began to prepare (their) flight without delay. </li> <li> <ol> <li>Hostis/hostēs summum montem occupāverat/occupāverant.</li> <li>Erant multae arborēs in collibus adversīs.</li> <li>Castra ad pulchum fontem posuimus.</li> <li>Iter per hostium fīnēs numquam est sine perīculō.</li> <li>Tempus mēnsis idōneum erat itinerī.</li> <li>Dentēs monstrī erant longī.</li> <li>Peditēs, ubi sanguinem captīvōrum vīdērunt, moenia summā vī petere/oppūgnāre incēpērunt.</li> </ol> </li> </ol>

On the walls there stood many chiefs. When the chiefs saw the Romans, they order the citizens to throw stones and other weapons from the walls. Then the brave soldiers could not be kept from battle and the eager general ordered a signal with the trumpet to be given. With the greatest force they all hastened. The commander in chief commited all the baggage to his lieutenant, Sextus. Sextus placed the baggage on the top of the hill. The battle was heavy and keen, but the enemies were not equal to the Romans. Some were killed, others were taken. Among the prisoners were the mother and sister of the king. Only a few Romans were wounded by the enemies. The favourable battle was pleasing to the Romans.

Crete is an ancient island that is beaten by the high water of the great sea. There Minos once upon a time was king. Daedalus, who was fleeing out of his fatherland, Greece, came to him. King Minos received him with kind words and gave him a dwelling place at Crete. And in this place Daedalus lived without worry and made many famous works for the king. After a long time, however, Daedalus began to long for his dear native land. He was eager to hasten home, but he could not persuade the king and the savage sea forbade flight.

After the finishing touch (the last hand) was put to the wings, Daedalus tried them and flew in the air(s) like a bird. Then he fastened wings to his son’s shoulders and taught him to fly and said: “I forbid you, my son, to approach either the sun or the sea. If you approach the waves, the water will harm your wings, and if you approach the sun, the fire will burn them.” Then father and son begin their difficult journey.

§ 295, p. 130
One part of the city seemed sufficiently fortified by walls, the other part by the river. But there was a bridge over the river that nearly presented a way for the enemies. Then Horatius Cocles, a brave man, shouted (said with a great voice), “Cut down the bridge, Romans! Shortly Porsenna will lead his troops across (it) into the city.” Already there were enemies on the bridge, but Horatius with two companions hastened to the farthest part of the bridge, and these alone sustained the frontline of the enemy. Then the Roman citizens truly began to cut down the bridge in the rear, and the enemies tried in vain to overcome Horatius.

Soon, when (only) a small part of the bridge remained, Horatius ordered his comrades to get away and sustained with wonderful firmness the attack of that entire army, alone. Finally the bridge fell down into the river with a great splash (noise). Then indeed did Horatius retreat and leaped armed into the waters. The enemies hurled many spears towards him; however, he swam across the waves to the other bank unharmed. Because of such great deeds the Roman people not only gave him other great rewards, but also placed a statue of Horatius in a public place.

<ol type="I" start="1"> <li> <ol> Caesar waged war in Gaul for seven years. In the first year he subdued the Helvetii, and in the same year many German tribes surrendered themselves to him. For many years the Helvetii harassed the Gauls, and the German leaders often led their troops across the Rhine. They did not come one by one, but many thousand men were fighting in Gaul. Because of that reason the leaders of the Gauls called together an assembly and decreed to send delegates to Caesar. Caesar, as soon as he heard this rumour, assembled his troops without delay. At daybreak he set to fight quite fiercely with the Germans. For the whole day fight went on quite violently. Caesar himself led the line of battle from the right flank. A large part of the army of the Germans fell. After the great slaughter the few (survivors) fled many miles to the river. </ol> </li> <li> <ol> <li>Caesar ā flūmine mīlia passuum duo castra posuit.</li> <li>Castra fossā quīndecim pedēs lātā et vallō novem pedēs altō mūnīvit.</li> <li>Hostium castra magnō spatiō (acc. of extent as found in Caesar: magnum spatium) aberant.</li> <li>Postrīdiē decem mīlia passuum hōrīs tribus īre condendit (cucurrit).</li> <li>Subitō hostēs omnibus cōpiīs (viribus) in novissimum agmen impetum fēcērunt.</li> <li>Hōrās duās Rōmānī ā barbarīs pressī sunt.</li> <li>Hōrīs tribus post (hōrā quarta) barbarī fugiēbant.</li> </ol> </li> </ol>

§ 504, p. 266

 * A Latin word has as many syllables as it has vowels and diphthongs.
 * Latin words are divided into syllables as follows:
 * 1) A single consonant between two vowels goes with the second (e.g. fa-ci-li-us).
 * 2) In a combination of two or more consonants a consonant followed by a liquid (l or r) goes with the liquid (e.g. pu-bli-cus, pe-re-gri-nus) unless the combination contains a prepositional compound or a double liquid (ll or rr); otherwise the first consonant of the combination goes with the preceding vowel (e.g. ab-rum-po, hos-tis, fer-rum).
 * The ultima is the last syllable of a word (e.g. cus in ba-si-lis-cus is the ultima).
 * The penultima is next to the last syllable of a word (e.g. lis in ba-si-lis-cus is the penultima).
 * The antepenultima is the syllable before the penultima (e.g. si in ba-si-lis-cus is the antepenultima).
 * A syllable is short if it ends with a short vowel.
 * A syllable is long if it contains either a dipthong or a long vowel (e.g. poe in poe-ta is a long syllable and tā in aes-tā-te is a long syllable), or if it ends with a consonant followed by another consonant (e.g. lis in ba-si-lis-cus is a long syllable).
 * Words with less than three syllables are accented on the first syllable, and the words with more than two syllables are accented on the penultima if it is long, otherwise the accent rests on the antepenultima.
 * The subject is a noun about which something is said.
 * The predicate is what is said about the subject, and it contains at least a verb and possibly modifiers of the verb.
 * The object is the what is being acted upon or affected by the subject.
 * The copula -- ie. the verb to be -- is a verb which connects the subject of a sentence with one or more modifiers.
 * Inflection is the change of forms of words indicating a change in meaning or sense.
 * Declension is inflection of nouns.
 * Conjugation is inflection of verbs.
 * -t, -nt
 * The form of a noun shows the number and case.
 * The cases of Latin are: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, and vocative (a few exceptions have the locative case).
 * For the subject the nominative case is used.
 * For the direct object the accusative case is used.
 * For the possessor the dative case (the dative of possessor) is used.
 * By the dative case is expressed the relations conveyed by the English prepositions to, towards, and for when the relation is not one of physical motion (e.g. she was pleasant to the horse would be expressed by the dative case in Latin).
 * The indirect object of a verb is in the dative case.
 * Questions are answered by repeating the verb (and other essential words) in the answer.
 * A predicative adjective is an adjective which is part of the predicate of a sentence ie. a predicative adjective is linked with the noun it describes by a verb (e.g. magna in nāvis magna est is a predicative adjective).
 * An attributive adjective is an adjective directly related to a noun, without a connecting verb (e.g. magna in nāvis magna natat is an attributive adjective).
 * Words are in agreement when they agree in one or more grammatical aspects. For example, a verb agrees with its subject: nautae pugnant -- sailors fight, nauta pugnat -- a sailor fights.
 * The adjectives agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they describe.
 * The ablative case of Latin expresses the same relations as the English prepositions from, with or by, and in or at.
 * A possessive pronoun usually follows the noun it describes (e.g. fīlia mea -- my daughter), and when it doesn't this means the possession is meant to be more emphatic in the sentence (e.g. mea fīlia -- my daughter).
 * A modifying genitive usually follows the noun it describes (e.g. fīlia rēgīnae); when placed in front of the noun a modifying genitive becomes more emphatic (e.g.  rēgīnae fīlia)
 * A modifying adjective usually follows the noun it describes, unless a more emphasis is desired (e.g. normally fīlia bona instad of the more emphatic bona fīlia).
 * The base is the part of a word which does not change when the word is inflected.
 * The grammatical gender is a gender ascribed to a noun apart from the real sex or gender (e.g. poeta, a poet, is a masculine noun, regardless of the gender or a sex of the person writing or performing a poem).
 * Nouns belonging to the first declension are feminine unless they denote males. E.g. alga (seaweed) is feminine, but nauta, sailor is masculine.
 * The general principles of the Latin word order is to put the most important word or words, usually the subject, at the beginning of a sentence, followed by its modifiers, an indirect object, a direct object, and at the end of a sentence an adverb, if any, and the (main) predicate verb. Often the Latin word order is subject - modifiers of the subject - indirect object - object - adverb - verb.

§ 508, p. 268

 * Latin has five declensions.
 * The (grammatical) gender, number, and case of a noun has to be known before it can be declined.
 * The nominative, accusative, and vocative cases of neuter nouns are alike, and in plural they end with -a.
 * The plural dative and accusative cases of all nouns are alike.
 * In the singular of the second declension when the nominative ends with -us.
 * A predicate noun is a noun used in the predicate of a sentece. E.g. "husband" in "Mark is a husband", "conjunx" in "Mārcus conjunx est".
 * The predicate noun agrees with the subject.
 * An appositive is a noun which explains or names another noun. E.g. "husband" in "Mark, the husband, is treacherous.", "conjunx" in "Mārcus conjunx perfidus est".
 * The appositive agrees with the noun it explains.
 * Whether a noun in -er is declined like puer or ager is determined by looking at the genitive singular form, which displays the base.
 * To determine whether an adjective in -er is declined like līber or pulcher is determined by looking at the nominative singular of the feminine, which shows the base.
 * In nauta bonus the adjective agrees in (grammatical) gender, number, and case with the noun, whereas in nauta bona the adjective does not agree in (grammatical) gender with the noun it describes.
 * The Latin possessive pronouns are: meus, tuus, suus, noster, and vester.
 * The Latin possessive pronouns are declined like the adjectives in the first and second declension.
 * The possessive pronouns agree with the thing possessed in (grammatical) gender, number, and case.
 * Vester is used when there are multiple possessors, and tuus is used when there is only one possessor.
 * Because suus regularly refers back to the subject.
 * The non-reflexive possessive of the third person is the genitive of is; in singular eius and in plural eorum/earum/eorum.
 * In Latin possessives are omitted when the meaning of a sentence is clear without them. When a possessive is used in a sentence, it's often meant for added emphasis. E.g. Mārcus servum flagellāvit. when Mark is teaching a slave to behave, and Mārcus servum suum flagellāvit. when Mark is flogging a slave he owns (e.g. after finding out he's not the only perfidious party in his marriage).
 * The four uses of the ablative case corresponding the use of "with" in English are: Denoting causality, means, accompaniment, and manner.
 * An example of the ablative of manner: Mārcus magnō cum studiō cucurrit. or Mārcus magnō studiō cucurrit. (Mark's wife preferred the flogged slave over Mark, and she gave him his sword too.)
 * An example of the ablative of cause: Mārcus dēfessus inopiā aquā est. (Running left Mark quite exhausted because he had nothing to drink.)
 * An example of the ablative of means: Mārcus pedibus suis cucurrit. (Lacking a horse, Mark had no other option but to run with his own feet.)
 * An example of the ablative of accompaniment: Marīta Mārcī cum servō habitat. (Since Mark didn't dare to return, his wife can lives happily in marriage with the freedman who once got flogged.)
 * The ablative of accompaniment regularly has cum.
 * The ablative of manner sometimes has cum.
 * The ablative of cause and the ablative of means never have cum.
 * The nine pronominal adjectives are: alius/alia/aliud (other of many), alter/altera/alterum (other of two), neuter/neutra/neutrum (neither of two), nūllus/nūlla/nūllum (none), sōlus/sōla/sōlum (only), tōtus/tōta/tōtum (every), ūllus/ūlla/ūllum (any), ūnus/ūna/ūnum (one), uter/utra/utrum (which of two).
 * Is as a demonstrative adjective or pronoun is used for the English personal pronoun he/she/it.
 * Is is also used, in the genitive case, as the third person possessive pronoun.
 * Is as a demonstrative adjective or pronoun is used for the English personal pronoun he/she/it.
 * Is is also used, in the genitive case, as the third person possessive pronoun.
 * Is is also used, in the genitive case, as the third person possessive pronoun.

§ 512, p. 270

 * A mood indicates the manner of the action of a verb. For example, something may be stated as a fact or as a wish.
 * Indicative, subjunctive, imperative, and infinitive.
 * The indicative mood is used when making a statements of fact or asking questions about something assumed as a fact.
 * Present, future, imperfect, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect.
 * The personal endings of verbs indicate the person and number of a verb, whereas in English this is usually indicated with a noun or a personal pronoun. E.g. Nautae pugnant. vs. The sailors are happy and they fight.
 * -m/-ō, -s, -t, -mus, -tis, -nt.
 * Sum, es, est, sumus, estis, sunt; Eram, erās, erat, erāmus, erātis, erant; Erō, eris, erit, erimus, eritis, erunt.
 * In Latin there are four regular conjugations.
 * Each of the conjugations have a distinguishing vowel, which is easiest to spot from the present infinitive. E.g. the present infinitive of the first conjugation has the ending -āre, the second conjugation the ending -ēre, etc.
 * The present stem is found by dropping -re from the present infinitive.
 * The present, future, and imperfect tenses.
 * The tense sign of the imperfect is -bā-.
 * The imperfect is used when describing habitual or continuous action in the past or when describing conditions of affairs or situations in the past.
 * The tense sign of the future in the first two conjugations is -bi-.
 * The tense sign of the future in the third and fourth conjugation is -e-.
 * A vowel is always short before -nt and a final -m/-t.
 * I fight, I am fighting, I do fight.
 * The present indicative 1st person singular, the present indicative 3rd person plural, and all forms of the imperfect and the future.
 * All the rest (see the previous answer).
 * The dative is used with adjectives to denote the object toward which the given quality is directed. E.g. equus grātus est puerō.
 * Crēdo, crēdere, crēdidī, creditum; faveō, favēre, fāvī, fautum; noceō, nocēre, nocuī, nocitum; pāreō, pārēre, pāruī, pāritum; persuādeō, persuādēre,  persuāsī, persuāsum; resistō, resistēre, restitī, -; studeō, studēre, studuī, -.
 * The imperative mood expresses commands.
 * The present active imperative in singular is identical to the present stem.
 * The present active imperative in plural is formed by adding -te to the present stem.
 * Dīcō: dīc; Dūcō: dūc; Faciō: fāc;
 * Portō: portā, portāte; Dēleō: dēlē, dēlēte; Agō: age, agete; Faciō: fāc, facete; Mūniō: mūnī, mūnīte.
 * Portō: portā, portāte; Dēleō: dēlē, dēlēte; Agō: age, agete; Faciō: fāc, facete; Mūniō: mūnī, mūnīte.

§ 516, p. 273

 * -r, -ris, -tur, -mur, -minī, -ntur.
 * The -r is sometimes called the passive sign because it occurs in all but one of the personal endings of the passive voice.
 * -ā, -ē, -e, -ī.
 * The principal parts of a verb are the present infinitive first person singular, the present active infinitive, the perfect active indicative first person singular, and the perfect passive participle.
 * The three conjugation stems are the present stem, the perfect stem, and the participial stem.
 * The present stem can be found by dropping -re from the present active infinitive; the perfect stem can be found by dropping -ī from the perfect active indicative first person singular; and the participial stem can be found by dropping -us from the perfect passive participle.
 * The tenses of the indicative are present, future, imperfect, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect.
 * The tenses of the infinitive are present, future, and perfect.
 * The present.
 * From the present stem the following forms are built: present active indicative, imperfect active indicative, future active indicative, present passive indicative, imperfect passive indicative, and future passive indicative.
 * From the perfect stem the following forms are built: perfect active indicative, pluperfect active indicative, and future perfect active indicative.
 * From the participial stem the following forms are built: perfect passive indicative, pluperfect passive indicative, and future perfect passive indicative.
 * The personal endings of the perfect active indicative are: -ī, -istī, -it, -imus, -istis, -ērunt (-ēre)
 * The tense sign for pluperfect active indicative is -erā-.
 * The tense sign for future perfect active indicative is -eri- (1st person singular -erō).
 * The present active infinitive is the second of the principal parts of a verb.
 * The present passive infinitive is formed from the present stem by adding -rī.
 * The present active imperative in singular is the present stem and in plural it's formed by adding -te to the present stem.
 * The present passive imperative in singular is formed by adding -re to the present stem and in plural it's formed by adding -minī to the present stem.
 * The perfect active infinitive is formed by adding -isse to the present stem, e.g. laudāvisse.
 * The perfect passive infinitive is formed by combining the perfect passive participle with the infinitive of sum, e.g. laudātus esse.
 * The future active infinitive is formed by combining the participial stem with the future active participle with the infinitive of sum, e.g. laudātūrus esse.
 * A participle is partly verb and partly adjective, thus it has a tense and voice, yet it is declined and agrees with it's main word in number, gender and case.
 * The participles in -us are declined like the adjectives of the second declension-
 * The participle agrees with the noun it modifies in case, gender, and number, e.g. laudātī nautae - the praised sailors.
 * The passive forms of the perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect are formed by using sum as an auxiliary verb with the perfect passive participle.
 * The separative ablative is used with verbs expressing separation or deprivation.
 * The place from which is expressed in Latin with ā/ab, dē, ē/ex and ablative, e.g. nautae ab oppidō veniunt.
 * Words expressing separation or deprivation require an ablative to complete their meaning.
 * The word expressing the person from whom an action starts, when not the subject, is put in the ablative with the preposition ā/ab.
 * The ablative of means is never accompanied by a preposition where as the ablative of personal agent is always accompanied with the preposition ā/ab.
 * The perfect definite denotes a completed action at a definite point in time.
 * The perfect indefinite denotes a completed action at some, but not definite, point in time.
 * The difference between the imperfect and the perfect indefinite is that the imperfect describes situations and circumstances in a narrative whereas the perfect indefinite marks forward steps in a narrative.
 * The accusative and the ablative can be governed by a preposition in Latin.
 * The prepositions governing the ablative: ā/ab, cum, ē/ex, dē, in, prō, sine.
 * When governing the ablative, the preposition in means in or on, e.g. in mensā - on the table, in casā - in the hut.
 * When governing the accusative, the preposition in means to, into or against, e.g. in casam - into the hut.
 * The three interrogatives used to introduce yes-and-no questions are: -ne, nōnne, and num.
 * Questions introduced with -ne makes no assumptions about the answer, nōnne expects the answer yes, and num expects the answer no.
 * An affirmative answer may simply repeat the main verb of the question or use ita, vērō, certē (e.g.) for yes and nōn, minimē (e.g.) for no.
 * Ubi can be used as an interrogative pronoun for where or when, and it can also be used as a relative pronoun for where or when.
 * Ubi can be used as an interrogative pronoun for where or when, and it can also be used as a relative pronoun for where or when.

§ 519, p. 275

 * An infinitive is a verbal noun.
 * In Latin the infinitive is used, like in English,
 * 1) to form an object clause to complement certain verbs of wishing, commanding, forbidding, etc. (e.g. She is forbidden to walk.);
 * 2) as a complementary infinitive to complete the meaning of verbs of incomplete predication (e.g. She is able to run.); and
 * 3) as a proper noun, when used in as the subject of a sentence or as a predicative nominative (e.g. She loves to run.)
 * The case of the subject of the infinitive in Latin is accusative.
 * Certain verbs, verbs of incomplete predication, don't express a predication without a complementary verb, and such verbs require a complementary infinitive to complete their meaning. E.g. Cornelia currere potest, without currere the sentence would lack meaning.
 * The case of happy in the sentence "The bad boy cannot be happy." (Malus puer esse bonus non potest.) is nominative.
 * A predicative adjective completing a complementary infinitive agrees in gender, number, and case with the subject of the main verb.
 * A relative pronoun must agree with its antecedent in gender and number, but it's case is determined by the way it is used in its own clause.
 * The interrogative can be used as an interrogative pronoun or as an interrogative adjective.
 * The base of a noun is the part to which the case endings are added.
 * The stem of a noun is formed from the base by adding the stem vowel, e.g. rīpa has the base of rīp' and the stem of rīpā, catulus has the base of catul and the stem of catulo''.
 * Yes, the stem and the base of a noun can be identical. The consonant stems in the third declension have identical bases and stems, e.g. cōnsul is the base and the stem.
 * In Latin there are five declensions of nouns.
 * The Latin declensions are:
 * 1) The first or ā-declension.
 * 2) The second or o-declension.
 * 3) The third or i-declension.
 * 4) The fourth or u-declension.
 * 5) The fifth or ē-declension.
 * The nouns of the third declension have either an i-stem and a consonant stem.
 * The consonant stems are divided into stems which add -s to the base when forming the nominative singular and the stems which add no termination to the nominative singular.
 * The stem lapid yields the base lapis because a final -d or -t of the stem is dropped before -s; the stem mīlit results the base mīles because a final -t is dropped before -s and the -i is changed to -e in the nominative; the stem rēg produces the base rēx because a final -c or -g unites with a final -s, forming -x instead.
 * Nouns in -ēs, -is, -ns, -rs, -e, -al, and -ar have i-stems.
 * The peculiarities of the i-stems in the third declension are: Masculines and feminines end with -ium in the genitive plural and with -īs, instead of -ēs, in the accusative plural; the neuters end with -ī in the ablative singular and have -i- in each of their plural forms.
 * Caedēs, cliēns, hostis, turris, urbs.
 * Turris, turris, turrī, turrem, turre (turrī); turrēs, turrium, turribus, turrīs, turribus.
 * The rules for gender in the third declension:
 * 1) Words denoting males are masculine and words denoting female are feminine as usual.
 * 2) Nouns in -or, -ōs, -er, and -es are masculine; except arbor (f.) and iter (n.).
 * 3) Nouns in -ō, -is, -x, and -s preceded by a consonant or any long vowel except -ō are feminine; except masculines collis, lapis, mēnsis, ōrdō, and pēs; the four monosyllables dēns, fōns, mōns, and pōns; and nouns in -nis and -guis (e.g. ignis, sanguis).
 * 4) Nouns in -e, -al, -ar, -n, -ur, and -us are neuter; caput is also neuter.
 * 1) Nouns in -or, -ōs, -er, and -es are masculine; except arbor (f.) and iter (n.).
 * 2) Nouns in -ō, -is, -x, and -s preceded by a consonant or any long vowel except -ō are feminine; except masculines collis, lapis, mēnsis, ōrdō, and pēs; the four monosyllables dēns, fōns, mōns, and pōns; and nouns in -nis and -guis (e.g. ignis, sanguis).
 * 3) Nouns in -e, -al, -ar, -n, -ur, and -us are neuter; caput is also neuter.

§ 523, p. 277

 * Latin adjectives are declined by the first, second, and third declension.
 * Nearly all adjectives of the third declension have i-stems.
 * Adjectives of the third declension are divided into:
 * 1) Adjectives of three endings,
 * 2) adjectives of two endings, and
 * 3) adjectives of one ending.
 * Adjectives in -er have three endings, those in -is have two endings, and the rest have one ending.
 * The nominative endings in the fourth declension is -us for masculines and -ū for neuters.
 * By exception feminines are domus, manus, and a handful of others.
 * The place to which is expressed by ad or in with the accusative; the place from which is expressed by ā/ab, dē, ē/ex with the (separative) ablative; the place in which is expressed by in with the ablative.
 * The names of towns and small islands as well as rūs all omit the prepositions in expressions of place. E.g. Agamemnon Spartam properat. -- Agamemnon hurries to Sparta; Ulixes Ilio Aeaeae maturat. -- Odysseus hurries from Troy to the island Aeaea.
 * The locative case expressed the place relation -- expressed in English by the prepositions at and in -- formerly in Latin.
 * The singular of names of towns and small islands belonging to the first or second declension have a locative case.
 * The form of locative case is identical to the genitive singular.
 * Galba domī habitat., Galba Rōmae habitat., Galba Pompēiīs habitat.
 * The gender of nouns of the fifth declension is feminine, except for diēs and merīdiēs.
 * Diēs, diēī, diēī, diem, diē, diēs, diērum, diēs, diēbus, diēbus; rēs, rēī, rēī, rem, rē, rēs, rērum, rēs, rēbus, rēbus.
 * A long ē is shortened before m.
 * Most nouns of the fifth declension lack the plural forms, except diēs and rēs which have the plural forms too.
 * The time when is expressed by the ablative without a preposition.
 * The pronouns are classified as follows:
 * 1) Personal pronouns express the person spoken to or spoken of;
 * 2) possessive pronouns denote possession;
 * 3) reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject;
 * 4) intensive pronouns emphasise a noun;
 * 5) demonstrative pronouns point out things or persons;
 * 6) relative pronouns connect subordinate adjective clauses with an antecedent;
 * 7) interrogative pronouns ask questions; and
 * 8) indefinite pronouns point out indefinitely.
 * For the first person the personal pronoun ego and for the second person the personal pronoun tū are used as reflexive pronouns as well.
 * The reflexive pronoun of the third person (singular and plural) is sē (acc. and abl.), suī (gen.), sibi (dat.).
 * Mē videō./Sē videt./Eum videt.
 * Ipse is used to emphasise a noun or a pronoun.
 * Īdem is used as a demonstrative pronoun denoting that two (or more) objects are in fact the same object; hic is used to denote a definite object near the speaker, ille is used to denote a definite object not near the speaker nor the listener, and iste is used to denote a definite object near the listener.
 * Aliquis -- some one, any one; quis -- some one, any one; quīdam -- a certain; quisquam -- any one (at all); quisque -- each, every.
 * Mē videō./Sē videt./Eum videt.
 * Ipse is used to emphasise a noun or a pronoun.
