Mizukey walked into her new classroom. There were several rows of desks and a large teachers desk at the front of the room. behind the teacher's desk on the wall was a large white board and several markers in different colors. She sat her stuff on the desk and and opened a blue notebook, looking over some notes. After she read for a moment, she got up and went to write on the board behind her. she picked up one of the markers, this one blue, began to write on the board. When she was finished she had written 'Salvete!' She went back to her desk and continued to look over her notes, waiting for her students to arrive.

Kiari rushed into the class. "Sorry I'm late sorry I'm late!" she sat down and waited for the lesson to continue. (sorry, my laptop has a virus and I can only get on when I steal Mizu, Aya, or Rin's laptop. I'll try to be on as much as i can...just beg my Nee-chans to lemme steal their laptop for a few minutes until I get mine all virus free ((stupid trojan!)))

"Alright then, let's get started. Here are the vocabulary words we will be using this lesson. Does anyone have any questions before we move on to grammer?" she asked writing some words on the board.
est he/she/it is adest he/she/it is there rogat he/she/it asks stat he/she/it stands vocat he/she/it shouts, calls dolet he/she/it feels pain, regrets gaudet he/she/it is happy ridet he/she/it laughs sedet he/she/it sits et and hic here iam already ibi there nam because subito suddenly ubi where

Peregrine nodded.
"Yeah," He said, "Is it anything like Spanish grammar?" he asked.

"Very much so. There are femine and masculine things, but there is also a tense for things sometimes. The ordering of the sentances is alot the same, like adjectives that follow the noun instead of come before it. The Spainish language is a dire t decndent of Latin, so it is not so surprising that they are so simliar. Any other questions before I talking a little bit more about grammer?"

"Ok then, we are going to start with verbs. All the verbs that I have given you already end in -t, so who can make a list of them for me?" she asked, hoping that she was clear on what she wanted.

Peregrine made a short list, but he wasn't sure if it was what Mizukey had been wanting.
"Est, adest, rogat, stat, vocat, dolet, guardet, ridet, sedet, and et?" He said, his answer more of a question then an answer.

"Yes, very good Pippin. That's exactally what I wanted. The -t is the ending for the 3rd person singular. The corresponding personal pronoun in English would be "he", "she" or "it". In Latin, personal pronouns are not usually used; you have to add them yourself, based on the verb. So if you see the word "ridet", you should translate it as "he laughs" or "she laughs", based on the context. That way, a single word can, on its own, be a complete sentence! Much like Spanish, actually. Do you see what I am trying to say or do I need to explain it more?"

"No I see what you're trying to say." Peregrine said, "Would you congigate words in Latin like you would in Spanish?"

"Yes, so the ending for 3rd person singular (the -a or, -e in Spanish present tense) is just -t. It's really the exact same thing, since Spanish is a branch off Latin. Do you understand Kiari? I know you don't take another language that is like this."
