LESSON LXXVI

VOCABULARY REVIEW THE GENITIVE AND ABLATIVE OF QUALITY OR DESCRIPTION

<440>> Review the word lists in ----524, 525

<441>> Observe the English sentences

(1) _A e_

(3) _A forest <of>> tall trees_, or (4) _A forest <with>> tall trees_

(1) <vir na=”” virtute=””>> (3) <silva altarum=”” arborum=””>>, or (4) <silva altis=”” arboribus=””>>

There is, however, one ilish wethe descriptive phrase without an adjective modifier _In Latin, however, an adjective modifier must always be used_, as above
