Latin doesn't have to be hard, and with the help of online descriptions of complicated grammatical topics, I hope it isn't. If you're a teacher, feel free to use these videos in your class, either to flip the learning, or for review. If you're a student, learn as much as you can. And stay tuned, there's much more Latin to come.
Who am I? My name is Ben Johnson and I am a high school Latin teacher in Maine, USA. Seeing that there weren't good quality Latin grammar videos on UA-cam, I began to create these videos to use as a resource for my own students. I continue to do so, both for initial instruction and review, combined with online activities. If you have a question about a topic, please leave a comment, or send me a message. I will be glad to help, time permitting.
I use the classical pronunciation of Latin, but am not perfect. Comments about pronunciation will be deleted.

Solstices: Summer and Winter Etymologies
Latin has different words for the summer and winter solstice, solstitium and bruma. Each of these words has interesting origins, and this video goes through the etymology of each word, and why solstice isn't necessarily the best word to describe December 21. At least for those of us in the northern hemisphere!

Rule 91: Clauses Depending on Subjunctive Clauses
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
The last of our 91 rules discusses the subjunctive of attraction. In short, when a subordinate clause depends on another subjunctive clause, the verb in that clause will likely be in the subjunctive as well. That said, this isn't a hard and fast rule, and you can easily find examples in Latin that don't follow this rule.
Rule 90: Subordinate Clauses with the Subjunctive
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
When does a subordinate use the subjunctive mood? This video looks at some examples that rely on the authority of the information presented. When the speaker or writer is the source, we use the indicative. But when someone else is the source of our information, well, that's when we use the subjunctive mood.
Rule 89: Commands in Indirect Speech
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
As we work through indirect speech, this video will focus on commands, both standard indirect commands and commands in extended indirect dialogue. The good news is that commands will always use the subjunctive when relayed indirectly. This video moves through several different examples of commands in indirect speech.
Ucalegon: From Minor Character to Modern English Word
Переглядів 2,3 тис.Рік тому
Ucalegon is a small character in Vergil's Aeneid. He shows up once during the sack of Troy, simply because his house is on fire. And then that's it. Except that over the course of the last two thousand years, his name has become associated with his appearance in the Aeneid, and the term "Ucalegon" has come to mean someone who suffers the same fate: a neighbor whose house is on fire.
Rule 88: Questions in Indirect Speech
Переглядів 8 тис.Рік тому
The last few rules have been discussing indirect statements, and this video covers how questions are relayed in indirect speech. Unlike indirect statements which use an infinitive, indirect questions use a verb in the subjunctive mood, even when operating in extended indirect speech. But if the question is rhetorical and no real answer is expected? Then we use the standard accusative plus infin...
The Urine Tax: Vespasian's Great Legacy
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
Urine was a very precious commodity for the ancient Romans. So precious, in fact, that several emperors, including Nero and Vespasian, placed a tax on urine. In this video, you will learn about the legacy of one of these emperors, who gave his name to public urinals in some parts of the modern world.
Deponent Verbs
Переглядів 13 тис.Рік тому
Verbs in Latin come in two different voices, the active and the passive. But then there's this other set of verbs that don't seem to fit nicely into these categories. Deponent verbs are those that have passive forms, but we assign them active meanings in English: the look passive but are translated actively. This video discusses the concept of deponents with examples, and posits a possible expl...
Rule 87: Tenses in Indirect Statement
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
As we continue exploring indirect speech in Latin, it's important to think about the tense of the verb / infinitive in an indirect statement. Infinitives have only three tenses, and we need to think about these tenses as reflecting relative rather than absolute time. So a present infinitive shows an action happening at the same time as the head verb, a perfect infinitive an action has is alread...
Rule 86: Indirect Statement
Переглядів 12 тис.Рік тому
If you want to read ancient works of Latin, you need to understand the concept of indirect statement - when the author reports speech in an indirect way. Latin will put the subject of the indirect speech into the accusative case, and the action will be an infinitive. Any subordinate clause in indirect speech puts its verb in the subjunctive mood. This video explores this idea in a very basic wa...
Rule 85: Causal and Concessive cum Clauses
Переглядів 12 тис.2 роки тому
Rounding out our discussion of cum clauses are the causal and concessive (or adversative). While cum often means "when", a cum clause can also show the cause of the main clause, and in this case we would translate cum as "since". And sometimes the cum clause operates in opposition to the main clause, often with a tamen, "still" in the main clause. In this case, we translate cum as "although". T...
Rule 84: Circumstantial cum Clauses
Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
The conjunction cum can introduce clauses that show the general circumstances surrounding an action. When it does so, we still can translate it as "when" (although "after" or "while" can sometimes work) and the verb in the clause is in the subjunctive mood, usually the imperfect or pluperfect. This video looks at the so-called circumstantial cum clause, and explores how this clause differs from...
Rule 83: Temporal cum Clauses
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
The conjunction cum can introduce temporal clauses when the verb in the clause is in the indicative mood. In other words, cum means "when" and shows the precise time of the main clause when the verb is in the mood used for factual actions. This video explores this concept with examples from the ancient world.
Rule 82: Temporal Clauses
Переглядів 5 тис.2 роки тому
Temporal clauses are those that relate to time, and in Latin these clauses exclusively have a verb in the indicative mood. This video will cover examples of such clauses, especially those introduced by postquam, ubi, ut, and simul atque, all of which mean "after" or "when".
Rule 81: Causal Clauses
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
Causal clauses are those that tell the reason why the main clause happened or was done. In Latin, these are introduced by quod, quia, and quoniam (among others). This video discusses when the indicative mood is used in these clauses, and when the subjunctive verb. Hint: it all comes down to how much you can trust the information given in the clause!

this one is still a little too far ahead for me, where can i find a more beginner friendly video tutorial, pls? thx
God, you have awful voice. Stop it!
Такое ощущение что он изначально произошёл от славянского. То бишь q, x не имеют звука по произношению. W потом придумали, она вообще бессмысленна в современной парадигме.
based dude replying to all comments
Does, "Doctus est" not mean, "He is been taught"? Why does est not translate into he is? 5:33.
Why is it an -e and not a long i in the ablative form?
A fairy tale.
Nope. Ptah (Egyptian god) -----> Jupiter ( Deus Ptah ) D is the 4th letter of the alphabet ( Jupiter = Thor 4, Four, for ) Far ----> Farther ("Far far") ------> Father ( Jupiter is farther than Mars, and the father of Mars )
Latin is a fake language, there was no Roman Empire. La Tin ----> Latin La Tin = "The Tin" Tin, the sacred metal of Jupiter the father of Mars Zevs ---> Iesvs ---> Jesus Ptah (Egyptian god) -----> Peter / Jupiter ( Deus Ptah ) Devs ----> Zevs D is the 4th letter of the alphabet ( Jupiter = Thor 4, Four, for ) Changed D to Z The Z is a lightning bolt www.youtube.com/@sbelobaba/videos
Kinda like German, right? Where accusaitve is activated when one wants to express the idea of motion. EX: Ich gehe in die Stadt. Stadt is feminine so the article remains die, which is the nominative article.
500th post! Or, should I say, quingenti?
“As ye sow, so shall ye reap”…our ignorance is our ammunition. We are the main characters in our own lives…our higher selves are us in the future reaching back in time to assist ourselves. But if we knew that would we listen? We are the Gods. We are the alpha and omega I mean that’s what I got from the movie, how about you?
NIHIL
What happens if you have two antecedents, but one of them is feminine and the other one neuter?
Another way to think about it is this: Instead of "I think that he is alive," You can say "I think him to be alive." Where him is obviously accusative, and "to be" is the infinitive.
Debueris, mea quidem sententia, novam quamdam seriem inchoare atque veluerim te pergere carmina Latina sicut cum Aeneide feceris explicare! Cura valeas, et gratias pro opera tua!
I love your voice! So calming and precise. Also kinda reminds me of Ted Talk voiceovers.
When i was 7 (im 8 years old ) i learned Roman numerals like: I V X L C D M Is: I-1 V-5 X-10 L-10 C-100 D-500 M-1000
Due to my teacher's lack of teaching ability, I really couldn't understand what was going on, and the students book wasn't helpful either. Thank you for breaking it down!
You are telling me that XVIII is spoken IIXX ???
My latin teacher is (predictably) so pretentious but I so appreciate your videos
This video is not good! Pronounciation is completely wrong, and classical latin marked vowel length with apices!
Person places things still remain good examples of nouns not as it pertains to the definition of the noun as a whole is but as it pertains to whole to which the members of definitum, and the exclusion of abstract nouns is because not only do we know concrete better but also because the abstract is found in the concrete, as feat would remain unknown to us unless we met beings that were in fear as a sacred cat or a fearful woman. As a preparation for higher learning no need to retract person, places or things. Might want to remind non-Latin speakers that noun means name and what a word is used as is still better according to the definition of language conventionally or customarily significant auditory sign
You didn't pay attention to the stress in the words.
I wouldn't say that transitive verbs DO have a direct object but that they CAN have a direct object. I could say "I'm eating" without telling you _what_ I'm eating.
you are my goat
Imaging Mohg started with "mille!"
Nice presentation although it would be nice if you would not rush through the whole thing and would talk in a calmly manners with some pause just to absorb and comprehend the latin cardinals. I had to go through several time to actually to understand what you are trying to teach here.
The ancients did not "make" their symbols and languages. The devanagari of Sanskrit was delivered to the humans from the demigods.
Lol even native speakers are confused by their language.
Good Job
This is gonna give me nightmares pls help me
Brilliant channel; Your videos are a great help. Ex luce Lucellum
Mater te Pater #notanadverb
Whenever i try rolling my rs i just sound kinda french (i want to do the spanish r) ;_;
The word has nothing to do with castration.
Thank you! This has helped a bunch. The most successful video I’ve watched.
"SUUS are used to refer to the subject of the sentence." Not aways! Ex: Magister suam cuique discipulō tabulam reddit. or Marcus magistrō verba sua redit. (LLPSI)
Does anybody have the mathematical proof?
So this is kind of like "at an action"? as in, I am going towards the city (city would be acc in Latin) and this use of the supine would be like: I am going towards the action of hunting or "I am making preparatory actions to do this other verb (which is the supine)"
bro what i tried this and i ended up getting the french sounding r somehow 💀
Google Translate, when one selects Latin, and click onto the little speaker box often pronounces C like in modern Italian or Medeval Church Latin (Ch sound). Frustrating since I am more interested in how the Pagan/Polytheists pronounced words than Medeval Christians.
I usually do not glaze, but I simply cannot resist expressing my admiration for your exceptional talent as a Latin teacher. Your passion for the language shines through in every lesson, captivating even those who initially thought Latin was beyond their grasp. Your ability to make such a complex subject accessible and engaging is truly remarkable. The way you infuse history, culture, and literature into your teaching not only deepens our understanding of Latin but also enriches our overall learning experience. Your dedication to your students' progress is evident, and I am continually impressed by the creativity and enthusiasm you bring to the classroom. Thank you for being such an inspiring educator; your impact reaches far beyond the conjugations and declensions of Latin.
i got a 66 on my exam
You explained this better in 5 minutes then my teacher did in a whole week. MUCH THANKS!🤣🤣
I 'very much' enjoy your videos / mini lectures, thank you
I use octodecim and novendecim is represented 18 and 19.
