No, maybe you don't... I just have a horrible habit of just remember parts of languages I like. Like in latin I remember pulchra puella (not sure on spelling) which means beautiful girl, in French I remember Se tu bon = It's all good and Que tu papa,qui je suis? = Who's your daddy, yes I am...lol. Oh and Yuna you do realize now my goal is to prove you wrong some how. Not because I'm mean, I just love a challenge.

I do tend to remember things I WANT to know. See, I want to know German, thus I'm learning it, and remembering. Same thing with Latin in my future.
Trying to prove me wrong... Hmm...

Latin grammar isn't all that complicated. It works the same way it does in German so it should be easier for you =) The ending of a word tells you its function in the sentence, then all you do is look up the word in the dicionary to get the meaning of it. I am currently studying the usage of CUM and UT. Rewriting a sentence into passive voice is easy but takes times cause each term in the structure changes its function as well as the suffix.

Do you need examples of some kind?
