I am happy.

You are happy.

The family is large.

The friend is happy.

The girl is happy.

The student and the teacher are on the road.

The friend is on the road with the student.

Father and mother are happy with the family in the villa.

The town is large, but it is not a city.

The journey is long, and we hurry to the town.

If the road is long, a horse is useful.

A horse is also useful to the farmer in the fields.

On the large island there is a forest, and many old men live there.

(The female teacher tells the female student: “Time is good.”)

If there is a storm at sea, the sailors fear great danger.

We are happy, and we work a lot.

The journey is long, but we are happy.

The soldier’s name is Marcus, but many call him timid.

However, Marcus is brave and does not love war.

The emperor knows: “Peace is better than war.”

If you are timid, you can study in the city, but if you are brave, you can sleep in the garden.

Many say my name is lofty, but I am a happy student.

(Soon the boy will be brave, and he will be a soldier.)

(The emperor says: “The soldier will be brave, but war will remain.”)

(The messenger says: “Soon the goddess will walk to the city and the temple will be happy.”)

You are timid, however your mind is strong.

Now it is better to pray in the temple.

The teacher is happier in the garden than in the house.

I am happy because my teacher praises me.

The student says: "I look at the sky, for sometimes it is beautiful."

Today the day was bright, but the students nevertheless stayed in the school.

Yesterday the night was also quiet, for we never saw a fire in the road.

Tomorrow the day will be short, but many students will come to the school.

Yesterday the girl was sad, now however she laughs with her brother.

Today the day was short, but tomorrow the day will be long at school.

After a quiet night the female student's body is not sad, but it wants to work and is able to study.

Today the sky is bright.

The student's voice is clear.

The house is large.

The boy enters the bedroom which is small.

In the bedroom there is a window, and the boy closes it in the evening.

Today the day is cold, but the house is warm.

The daughter answers: "I am reading a book, because outside the day is cold."

The daughter answers: "Perhaps tomorrow I will run with them; now it is better to stay at home."

Mother answers: "Won’t grandmother sing in the garden, where the moon and stars shine? Now I am opening the window, so the lamp will be bright."

Mother answers: "Can you not play or read? How can you be sad without grandmother?"

Today the day is dark.

The student reads books, so his mind is not sad.

In our house there is a large door and few windows.

In the small bedroom there is a bed, and near the window a chair stands.

Mother sees the boy's ears and says: "Your ears are clean."

After he has washed his feet, the boy also washes his ears, and now his ears are clean.

The servant runs immediately and is quick, but the lady walks slowly and is slow.

In the school there is great silence, and the teacher is silent.

Although the night is dark, mother alone is not afraid.

Your friends are few, but good; then others will come to the school.

After the lady has told the story, the boys sleep in their beds and their hands are at rest.

The boy is tired, yet he runs to the school.

Yesterday the cook was slowly cooking the fish, because he was tired.

Once father was slowly counting the money, for the numbers were large.

At the third hour the students are already tired, but the teacher is still teaching.

Once the baby was often sick, and a female doctor used to come to the villa.

Now the male doctor says that the baby is healthy and mother rejoices.

When the boy was sick, the female doctor stayed with him for a whole hour.

After the boy was healthy, the boy was again playing with the ball with his sister.

Afterwards the master looks at the amount of money and says that the price of the old tunic is too much.

Mother says the game is good, but that the noise of the boys is too much, because the boys do not keep quiet for a long time.

Father once was a hardworking farmer and all day long he used to work in the fields.

Now mother is more hardworking than father, for the whole house is her responsibility and yet she rejoices.

In the street the merchants’ noise is loud, but in the kitchen only the cook and the servant speak quietly.

The number in the book is large.

In the sky there are many clouds, and rain falls slowly.

A great river is between the town and the forest.

Near the school there is a small library, where the students like to read books after school.

The (female) teacher says: "This book is easy, that book is difficult; nevertheless you can learn a lot."

The boy says: "I also ought to help grandmother, although she is already tired."

Between the river and the road there is a small bridge, and the boys look at the river from the bridge.

Mother closes the door so that the baby may not go outside and so that the house may be safe.

The teacher stays in the school with the students, so that the boys do not run home alone through the street; for there the boys are safe.

The boy says: "This garden is small, but that garden near the river is large and beautiful."

The students stay in the library for a long time, because they want to learn even the things that are difficult, not only the things that are easy.

Thus the people in the city are safe, because the enemies stay outside and do not enter silently at night.

The students read books and talk with the teacher; thus every day they learn much, so that their minds may always be stronger.

We wait in front of the gate while mother is in the forum.

Father is busy today, but the girl does the work at home.

Suddenly a messenger comes and says that it is certain that enemies are staying near the city.

The emperor knows that the task is serious, but he wants to preserve peace.

I am not sure that the students are ready, but the teacher says that they are ready.

The teacher says that the female students are ready and want to preserve peace, although the task is serious.

I think that the sky is bright today.

This place near the bridge is safe.

The teacher thinks it is true.

The teacher says that discipline is useful in the school.

I am sure that you told the truth.

The servant cannot carry warm water to the bedroom, because he is tired.

The emperor is sure that the soldiers are keeping watch in the town.

The teacher says that the message is true.

The servant finds the towel and asks: “Whose towel is this?”

The door is open, and the guest enters.

The servant asks the master: “Whose book is this?”

The emperor certainly knows that peace is better than war.

The messenger has been heard, and the crowd is silent.

There is too much noise in the forum, therefore we are silent in the villa.

The master orders the servant to close the door, so that the house may be safe.

The door of the villa is open, and we enter.

In the forum there is a tall statue of the emperor, and many people look at it.

Do not go outside, because the night is dark.

In the market she buys bread, cheese, and olives, and her basket is full.

The innkeeper answers that he cannot lower the price, because the jar of wine is already empty.

The boy also says that he is bold, but mother laughs.

Mother says the wind will soon stop, and we wait in the garden.

Grandmother answers that wool is useful, because from wool she can weave a tunic.

Father asks whether there is already salt in the house or whether salt is still lacking.

The wind is cold, therefore the girl stays at home.

The boy says that the wind is going to stop, but mother does not believe it.

Although the day is cold, we dine in the villa.

The students want to hear the truth, but the noise in the street is loud.

In the gift there is a beautiful ring.

The question is difficult, but the boy’s answer is true.

Because her memory is good, the girl does not easily forget the new words.

Grandfather, who is sitting in the garden, tells a story about his family; his memory is still clear.

In the library the walls are old, but the roof remains safe.

Today one page must be written by me, but my hand is already tired.

An answer to this question must be given by you before dinner.

You must go slowly on these stairs, because the steps are high.

Winter is long, and snow remains before the door.

Grandfather says that spring always gives him joy, because the sun is brighter.

Mother says that the rain will soon stop, and the boys will be able to play outside.

A short letter must be written by me today.

After school the book must be given to the teacher.

I must go home, because the night is dark.

In the field there is much grass, and the sheep stand in the grass.

In autumn many leaves are on the ground.

In summer the heat is great, and the boys like the coolness of the water.

Autumn is beautiful, because many leaves are on the ground.

Good students obey their teachers, because discipline and custom are useful in school.

If the fault is small, the teacher does not give a severe punishment.

This sentence is short, but it gives a clear example.

When the heat was great, we were sitting under the shade of the trees and drinking water.

In the small valley the grass is tall, but on the mountain there are often few trees.

The ground is good after the rain, and the grass in the field is tall.

The parents say that good manners must be kept at home and at school.

If a female student does not do her duty, her fault is clear; if she works well, she receives a reward.

The teacher says that his answer is true.

The parents say that discipline is useful in school and at home.

If the fault is serious, the punishment is also serious.

Peace must be preserved in the city.

You must put on a warm tunic, because the wind is cold.

Mother says that her daughter’s face is happy, but that her nose is cold.

The cook mixes an egg with flour so that the bread may be soft.

The boy loves honey, because its taste is sweet.

The flour is so dry that mother adds water.

The taste of this herb is so bitter that the girl does not want to eat it.

The doctor says that the medicine is bitter, but useful.

The sister’s tunic is not white, but red.

After the rain the field is so green that grandfather looks at it for a long time.

The rain is so heavy that the citizens run home.

Grandfather looks at his face in the mirror and says that he is happier today.

If your nose is cold and your arms are cold too, it is better to stay at home.

The cook adds water, so that the bread may be soft.

The boy is happier with his friend than alone.

On the left there is a shop, but on the right there is a library.

Grandfather says that the boy ought to be careful when he goes down the stairs.

The wall of the bedroom is white, but the wall of the atrium is now dirty.

The wife promises that she will come to the market tomorrow.

The husband promises that he will buy bread and cheese tomorrow.

The wife says that she will not go by the left street, but by the right street.

When they had reached the house, the girl and her mother denied that the journey had been difficult, because the street was straight.

I must go to the forum, because salt is lacking.

Mother warns the boy to be careful when he crosses the road.

The boy says that mother will soon come home.

Mother says that she is going to buy bread and olives.

The wall of the atrium is now not dirty, but clean.

Mother says that she is going to go to the forum.

If there is nothing in the purse, we can buy nothing from the merchant.

The teacher says that the title is good, but that a small mistake is hidden in the second line.

The teacher says that the female student is diligent, because she corrects the mistake quickly.

The boy is less diligent; therefore he copies the same mistake again and does not correct it at once.

Since the title was too long, the teacher ordered it to be made shorter.

The female student asks how many lines must be written in this book.

Of all the students, Lucia is the most diligent, but Marcus writes the most quickly.

This title is the shortest of all, but that one is the clearest.

The teacher says that the oldest book is also the most beautiful, because its wax and seal are still preserved.

Of the two purses, this one is the fullest, but that one has less money.

If you are not sure, ask the teacher herself; for she often gives the best advice.

The students say that nothing is easier than correcting mistakes, if they have the best example before their eyes.

I, however, think that it is most difficult to copy a new word without a mistake, when the hand and mind are not calm enough.

Father says that preserving peace is better than fearing war.

The doorkeeper closes the city gate, because the night is dark.

When the night was dark, father lit the lamp.

The boy says that the water is too cold.

This title is shorter than that one.

Marcus is the most diligent, because he corrects mistakes quickly.

This road to the forum is the shortest.

Of all the temples, this temple is the most beautiful.

This is certainly true.

The servant’s basket is very full, because he is carrying bread, cheese, and olives.

This sentence is the most difficult of all.

The sun is brighter today than yesterday.

Because the boy fell, he has a small wound on his knee, and there is almost no blood.

The doctor says that the wound is not serious and that the bleeding will soon stop.

Inside the gate many women are waiting, but outside the city the wind is still strong.

The doorkeeper says that no one needs to stay inside the gate if he wants to return home.

At grandmother’s house we always have bread and sweet honey.

This girl has two brothers, but that boy has no sister.

You have no fear if mother is with you.

If the neck and back are healthy, the boy is allowed to ride again.

You are not allowed to go to bed late, because tomorrow you must get up in the morning.

We must prepare water and bread before the journey, because at midday everyone asks for food.

Inside the house there is silence, but outside the door the boys are laughing.

At the doctor’s place there are many medicines, but this woman wants to take no medicine.

The boy’s chest is warm, and sweat remains on his chest, because he ran very quickly through the street and around the forum.

If any friend stays with us, a bed is always ready for him, and he will be safe inside the house.

At the beginning of the story one part is easy, but later another part becomes more difficult.

Mother sees her daughter weeping; tears are on the girl’s face.

Although the doctor says that the pain is brief, the boy still cannot sit quietly.

Grandmother tells the crying boy that his heart is good and wipes his tears.

Mother says that the beginning of the journey is easy, but that the part of the road near the end often becomes difficult.

The students rejoice when the end of the hour comes and the beginning of lunch is already near.

Grandfather often says that people’s spirits do not always remain the same, but that life without hope is sad.

A soldier, running, says that the queen will come to the city tomorrow.

The poet says that he will soon write a new poem about the king and queen.

In the atrium an image of the king is near the door, and all who come in look at it.

The teacher says that he will write a good example on the board.

The teacher says that order must be preserved in the school.

This sentence is more difficult than that one.

This thing seems easy, but it is more difficult than that one.

The doctor says that the pain in the chest is not serious.

Grandmother says that good friendship must be preserved.

The brother says that he will invite many guests if the house is large enough.

The merchant answers that oil too costs a lot, because the year was difficult.

That gift is pleasing to the girl, because she herself always loves to read an old book.

In the forum many cups are cheap, but mother does not want to buy these cups.

On a festival day the boys work less, but the cook is busy in the kitchen all day.

This month is short, but another month will be longer.

When the feast has ended, the girls will look at the decorated table and sing.

Mother promises that after a few months she will celebrate another feast, if peace has remained.

When all the gifts have been received, mother will call all the guests to the table.

Mother promises that she will invite the female neighbors too.

Mother decorates the atrium so that the guests may be happy.

Your letter is pleasing to me.

This letter is longer than that one.

On the festival day the atrium is decorated.

This letter is more pleasing to me than that gift.

Father says that he is going to celebrate the festival day with the family.

This picture is more beautiful than that one.

The received gift is pleasing to me.

The festival day is pleasing to everyone.

The image of the queen in the atrium is more beautiful than the image of the king.

After a few days the seeds are already growing in the furrow, but the roots are still small.

In the vineyard the grapes are still green, but mother says that they will soon be ripe.

When the grapes are ripe, the girls will come into the vineyard to gather grapes.

Father says that the broken window must be repaired at once, so that drops of rain may not fall inside.

The craftsman promises that he will close the crack tomorrow, if he has enough nails.

In the afternoon the girls want to come again to gather grapes, but mother says that the grapes are not yet ripe.

Mother says that a new broom must be bought, because the old broom is too short.

The female servant answers that she is already tired from dust and mud, but remains ready for sweeping.

When the roof and the window have been repaired, no drops will fall through the crack.

In the evening everyone is happy, because the vineyard, the atrium, and the roof are now better.

The doctor says that the boy will soon be healthy.

Tomorrow morning you must get up, because you must come to school.

Father says that the roof is strong.

After the rain the table must be dried, because drops of water remain on the table.

Mother says that bread must be bought, because there is nothing in the house.

The repaired roof is now strong.

The doorkeeper says that he will soon close the city gate, because the night is dark.

The teacher asks why the students are coming late today and whether there was a delay in the street.

The teacher shows what the mistake is and how the students ought to correct it.

Dawn is cold, but the girl rises quickly from sleep.

Another boy says that he does not want to rise from sleep, because sleep is still sweet.

After school the girls walk to the spring near the hill, because the water there is very pure.

Near the house smoke rises slowly, but the flame is still small.

Grandfather remembers that he once used to observe many signs of weather in the sky.

Now the boy asks what sign of storm it is, and grandfather points out the black clouds.

I do not know who is telling the truth, but everyone hopes that the matter will come to an end without delay.

Grandfather says that the water at the spring is very pure.

This is the advice that the teacher gives me.

This thing is pleasing to me.

The emperor hopes that the war will soon come to an end.

Vinegar and pepper are ready on the table.

Grandmother says that nuts are good, but that only a pear ought to be given to the baby.

Mother says that the vegetables are raw, but that the hen is already being prepared in the kitchen.

The maid laughs, because the cat wants to catch the mouse, but the mouse is quick.

There is a cake on the table, but mother says that it must be given after dinner.

Before we sit at the table, mother says that hands must be washed.

Before the cook cooks the vegetables, the maid washes them, because they are still raw.

Unless the bread is fresh, grandmother does not want to buy it.

When dinner has been prepared, everyone will say that the vegetables, pears, and figs in this market are the freshest.

Grandmother, laughing, says that she will return to the same bakery tomorrow, if the baker has kept another cake.

Before dinner, hands must be washed.

The servant is ready.

The baker says that the freshest bread must be bought today.

Father says that he will soon return home.

This book is the oldest of all.

If any part is unclear, the teacher explains it clearly.

In an old scroll there is a speech about peace so clear that even the boys understand it.

Grandfather says that teaching without truth is less useful.

The teacher says that rest is useful too, for no one can study for a long time without rest.

If there is a bad mark on the paper, the student does not become sad, but tries to work better.

Father asks what is most difficult in that speech, and his daughter answers that the beginning seems very clear to her.

The brother is more studious than the sister, but the sister repeats the verses more carefully.

Leisure without a book is not pleasant to me, but grandmother likes to sit quietly under the tree.

After a long hour, a short rest is very good for the students.

My pen is broken, and so I take my brother’s stylus.

The teacher gives the student a good mark, because she is diligent.

Good teaching is useful to the students.

The teacher says that study without discipline is less useful.

The sun is the brightest of all.

Lucia is more studious than Marcus, but Marcus writes more quickly.

In the evening everyone returns home, because the wind is cold.

If the goods are good, many people gladly pay the price.

Today in the forum there is a great supply of bread, but a shortage of wine remains.

After the teacher has entered the school, the students begin to be silent.

The sailors will set out from the harbor tomorrow, if the weather is good.

Why are you lingering so long before the door, when dinner is already ready?

When the feast has finished, the guests will slowly return home.

The merchant admits that the small barrel is broken, but says that another barrel remains good.

The guard places the weight of the silver on the scale again, so that everyone may see that the price is not too high.

The lack of water frightens the farmers, but after the rain there will be a great supply of water.

The merchant says that the merchandise is good.

In the stable there are one cow and one calf.

The ducks swim in the lake, because the water there is calm.

The stable, from which the ox goes out in the morning, is near the road.

The meadow, in which the cows graze, is near the lake and the marsh.

Father says that the milk from the cow that his daughter milks is warm.

The sister says that the lamb will bleat at once if the flock goes away.

If the stable has been well closed, no ox will go out at night.

The boy asks why the ox, although the shepherd is nearby, is still lowing.

When the sun has set, the ducks will return to the marsh, the rooster will be silent, and all will be quiet in the stable.

The door is closed, and the guest waits in front of it.

This girl has two donkeys, and she leads them to the field in the morning.

Mother says that there is enough grain in the granary, but that bread still must be bought today.

The crop seems taller after the rain, and grandmother rejoices, because the soil is so good.

The girl holds one grain in her hand and asks why it is so small.

We do not have enough hay, but we keep a lot of straw in the stable.

The crop in that field is good, and three chicks run near the hen.

The farmer has an old yoke, but he wants to buy a new strap, because the plough is heavy.

Mother warns her daughter not to try to plough the field after school, for the work is too hard.

Grandmother remembers that a great harvest was once made under the very hot sun.

The boy asks whether it is better to mix water or milk with the flour, but the cook answers that he already knows enough.

The wagon, whose wheel had been broken, the craftsman repairs today so that goods can be carried to the forum.

This hen has four chicks, and mother says that they are always hungry.

I do not have enough time today, but my sister does, and she gives help to mother in the field.

Although the wagon goes more slowly than a horse runs, mother says that it is more useful for carrying grain.

This tree is taller than that one.

This task is hard for me, but I want to finish it.

This advice is more useful than that.

The warm water must be carried to the bedroom.

At midday the sun is very hot, and the servants sit in the shade.

The cup is made of silver.

In the merchant’s basket there are five apples and eight nuts.

Mother chooses six pears and nine figs, because guests are about to come soon.

The judge says that the woman’s right must be preserved, because the thief took her money.

The judge thinks that eight days in prison are enough for the thief, if he finally tells the truth.

Ten witnesses say the same thing: that the servant is innocent and took nothing.

The law is clear, and everyone knows that the rights of the citizens must be preserved.

Mother asks whether the servant is innocent; the judge answers that he must soon be freed, if he has told the truth.

If the thief were innocent, the judge would not send him to prison.

If the law were too harsh, many citizens would not be able to understand their rights.

Father says that he will bring five books and six letters to the forum tomorrow, if the road is safe.

After the business has been finished, mother will put nine pears and ten nuts on the table, so that everyone may dine happily.

This matter is important, and so mother hurries to the forum.

Mother says that she will have a short errand in the forum, but that she will soon return home.

The judge says that the innocent slave must be freed at once.

The judge gives the thief a harsh punishment, because the law is clear.

The servant is about to bring fresh bread to the villa.

This matter is serious, but the judge knows the truth.

Father says that he is about to have a long conversation with the family after dinner.

This is the reward that the good female student receives.

There is a report in the forum about the new teacher.

Mother says that the teacher is honest and prudent.

The girl is loyal, and the teacher praises her loyalty.

Freedom is pleasing, but safety also must be preserved.

The emperor says that the freedom of the citizens must be preserved along with the safety of the city.

If anyone swears falsely, the judge is angry.

Mother is angry, but she tries to keep her patience.

Father says that good will is better than force.

The teacher’s reasoning is clear, and the students follow his advice.

When father is angry, grandmother nevertheless answers with patience.

The new teacher is said to be honest.

Lucia is thought to be prudent, because she always comes prepared before the others.

The merchant is not said to be just, because he asks too high a price.

But mother answers that a rumor is often false and that the reason ought to be sought.

If everyone is honest and loyal, a good reputation remains and the safety of all is preserved more easily.

If you are wise, you must tell the truth.

The door is firm, and the wind cannot open it.

The good reputation of the female student is pleasing to everyone.

I often think about whether my friend is going to come tomorrow.

The letter-carrier announces that the queen will come to the city tomorrow.

Mother announces to her son that dinner is already prepared.

In the forum the woman buys a new cloak and says that she will use it on the festival day with a white toga.

Mother asks whether the barber is also going to tend grandfather’s beard tomorrow.

In the morning the mist was so great that the mountain near the house could not be seen.

The thunder was long, but the lightning far above the mountains was seen only briefly.

There is no one who does not fear thunder and lightning.

The maid is about to use a clean cloth, because drops of water remain on the table.

The barber is about to tend grandfather’s beard.

The image of the queen was seen by everyone.

If the woman is innocent, a false accusation is a very great injustice.

The girl says that she will always keep this kindness in her memory.

The judge says that punishment can harm not only enemies but also allies, if it is too severe.

Mother says that the work in the field is too hard.

The witness swears that the accusation is false.

If there is a storm at sea, the sailors fear very great danger.

The emperor is about to preserve the freedom of the citizens.

The maid tries to mend the torn tunic, but the thread is too short.

The girl asks whether the needle is long enough to sew the torn tunic.

The banker will not easily lend money to the merchant if the old debt has not yet been paid.

Mother says that a good agreement between neighbors must be kept.

The wife and husband sign a short agreement, so that the banker may know when the debt must be paid.

The waves are so high that the net is almost hidden in the water.

The fisherman says that he will not leave the harbor today, because the waves are too great.

The brother puts two shells in the basket, but the sister says that one is more beautiful.

A mistress too ought to be just.

The judge does not doubt that the merchant tried to deceive his friend.

The banker rejoices, because the debt has finally been paid.

The debt must be paid tomorrow.

The girl sleeps too little, and so she is tired at school today.

The teacher thinks that each method is useful, since each student learns in a different way.

That story, however, is not of the same kind; for its whole nature is different.

The teacher says that such discipline is useful, since without order no one can learn well.

While the teacher is silent, the students gradually understand why these words are similar to one another.

Grandfather says that courage cannot be firm without patience and good will.

This ancient image is called most beautiful by many, and the shape of the crown is still clear.

Not everyone follows the same path: some run quickly, others walk more slowly; but the end is good if each person works well.

If you dare, you can speak even with many people; for your voice is clear.

Although people’s habits are often different, the same hope nevertheless leads many toward peace, since each person seeks peace and safety.

The shape of this shell is beautiful.

Father says that such a rumor is often false.

Father says that the shape of this shell is more beautiful than that of that one.

The path that leads through the forest is long, but safe.

The girl's habit is good: every day she gets up at the first hour and comes to school.

I love this language, because it is ancient.

The teacher says that this sentence must be explained in a different way.

This sentence must be explained again.

Whatever is in the basket, the maid puts on the table.

Mother undertakes a new task in the garden, although the time is short.

The students undertake a difficult exercise, because the teacher says that they are ready.

The boy is forced to stay at home, because the wind is cold and night is already coming.

The female student is forced to copy the sentence again, because there are two mistakes on the paper.

Not every rich woman is good, but many poor women have brave spirits.

After a long hour, a short period of rest is very pleasing to the students.

There is not enough space in this chest, and so we put the books in another chest.

The maid’s load is heavy, but the wagon carries it more easily.

This load is lighter than that one, and the girl herself can lift it.

From small seeds large flowers grow, if the soil and water are good.

Marcus is absent today, because he is sick.

In this library there is not enough space, and so some students wait outside.

Mother lights the lamp, so that there may be light in the atrium.

This bench is more comfortable than the old chair, and so two female students gladly sit there.

If the chalk is small, the teacher takes another piece of chalk from the chest and gives it to the student.

Recently a new female student came to the school, and everyone judges that she is prudent.

If anyone should tell a lie in court, the judge can condemn him; if he is innocent, she must acquit him.

The bread must be cut; then the pieces must be divided among the girls.

If the napkin is wet, the maid brings another napkin from the kitchen.

Lucia is more diligent than Marcus, but another female student is more timid than he is.

The teacher thinks this sentence is more difficult than that one, but the female student says that the meaning gradually becomes clearer.

The teacher recently bought a long parchment, because the old parchments were inconvenient.

At last mother says that dinner is ready, and finally everyone gathers at the table.

This hour is inconvenient for me, but more convenient for my sister, because she comes home late.

Finally the trial comes to an end, and the judge says that the law must be observed by everyone.

Mother says that the bread should not be cut at once into pieces that are too small, because father always asks for a large piece.

This chair is more comfortable than that bench, because grandmother can sit there for a long time.

The doctor says that the boy is completely healthy.

This sentence is worse than that one.

The apple must be divided between the son and the daughter.

Lucia is more diligent than Marcus, because she corrects her mistakes at once.

The sister is more timid than her brother, but she nevertheless tells the truth.

This road is more convenient for us than that one, because it is shorter.

Silence must be observed in the library.

The craftsperson says that the gold is pure and that she wants to sell it today.

Mother thinks that this piece of jewelry is beautiful, but that the price is too high.

The neighbor praises a white pearl, because its shape is simple and beautiful.

Mother says that precious pieces of jewelry are often beautiful, but not always necessary.

The teacher says that a bracelet full of gems is more precious than a simple chain.

In the trial the judge says that justice must be preserved, so that an innocent person may not receive an unfair punishment.

Father tells his children that a judge ought to be fair, whether the accused is rich or poor.

The accused sees that the judge is stern and answers in a timid voice.

Clemency is good if it remains fair and does not harm justice.

The moon is brighter today than yesterday.

The girl says that the gold necklace is precious, but that she cannot buy it.

Pure water is necessary for the baby.

The white pearl is more precious than the silver brooch.

Mother says that she is there for her sons, whether they are happy or sad.

The judge is sterner today than yesterday, because the accused tells a lie.

The golden brooch is shinier than the silver brooch.

This ornament is more precious than that one.

The judge says that the punishment is too harsh.

If the innocence of the accused woman is clear, the judge will acquit her at once.

Prudence without wisdom is not worth much, but both are useful to the student.

The greater the pride is, the more difficult it is to tell the truth.

The daughter’s devotion is clear when she quietly cares for her sick grandmother.

A sense of shame without fear is better, because it warns a person to do what is right even without punishment.

Although the judge’s strictness may seem harsh to many, her honesty is nevertheless clear to everyone.

Mother says that the merchant’s price is unfair.

This danger is greater than that one.

This exercise is more difficult than that one.

The teacher is here.

Mother spreads a new blanket on the bed, because the guest is going to come tomorrow.

Afterward the girl’s clothes are folded, and mother says that they must be put in the cupboard.

Since grandmother was tired, she was resting for a little while in bed, while the daughters were talking in the atrium.

The wind moves the curtain, and the girl asks why the window is open.

Since the rain had left dirt on the floor, the maid was forced to clean the floor again.

Although the cupboard is full, the mistress wants to buy another garment.

Since mother was busy in the kitchen, the daughter cleaned the bedroom herself and made no delay.

The teacher says that order must be kept in the bedroom: the clothes must be put in the cupboard and the dirt must be removed at once.

At last the guest says that the bed is well prepared, that the blanket is warm, and that she always gladly stays with this family.

Grandmother is lying in bed, because she is tired.

The accused was forced to confess the truth.

Mother orders the baby to lie down in the bed, because the night is dark.

The mud must be removed from the floor.

The girl puts on a new garment, because the old tunic is now dirty.

The next day the maternal aunt promises that she will give her niece a small gift, provided that the girl brings help to her mother.

The maternal uncle says that his nephew and niece are as prudent as their parents.

The daughter wants to use a new cloak and a long belt, because the day is cold.

Mother answers that she can still use the old cloak, but that new sandals must be bought.

The girl asks the shoemaker whether these sandals are firm enough for a long journey.

The brother looks for the tailor, because his belt is broken and his tunic seems too long.

Mother says that a cloak is no less useful than a precious ornament.

Neither sandal is good for the girl; therefore she will return to the shoemaker the next day.

The painting that the daughter buys is not as large as that image of the queen, but mother likes it more.

Blue pleases me, but yellow is more pleasing to my sister.

The uncle calls the doctor, because the girl’s fever is high and the cough prevents her from sleeping.

The doctor says that the remedy is bitter, but that the girl will soon be healthy, provided that she drinks enough water.

The aunt rejoices because the remedy was useful and the girl is finally sleeping well.

Provided that the girl remains quiet, the doctor says that she will return to school in a few days.

Neither of the two books was found elsewhere; at last both were lying under the chair.

The father is about to give his daughter a Latin book.

The teacher tells the students that new words must be learned beforehand, so that they may answer more easily in school.

The boy is sick, therefore mother calls the doctor.

This story is more pleasing to the boys than that one.

The shield is made of iron.

Grandfather’s comb was finally found under the pillow.

New words must be learned gradually.

The stick is light, however, and grandfather says that he can use it easily.

Mother buys a new mattress, because the old one was too hard.

If the mattress is not soft enough, what should we do?

If the vessel is fragile, we do not allow the boy to touch it.

Mother says that the bottle is more fragile than the other vessel.

The potter also asks a small price, because the vessel is whole and beautiful.

The brother says to his sister: “What should we do? The time is short and mother already wants to return.”

The rain forces us to stay at home, but father says that rest also is useful.

The female student is forced to copy the sentence again, because the sentence is not yet complete.

The girl wears a light cloak, because the wind is no longer cold.

This mattress is softer than that one, and so the baby sleeps well.

Mother says that the old mattress is too hard.

This window is more fragile than that one.

The judge says that the punishment is excessive.

The teacher says that the sentence is complete, because no words are missing.

The wet oars lie in the ship, but the sailor says that they are still useful.

Grandfather says that such practice is useful even to a writer, because he can later describe everything that he sees.

Let this lesson be brief, but let no word be neglected.

The teacher says: “Learn not only words, but also the use of words; for thus a good lesson and a good author will be useful to you for a long time.”

After the index has been found, the girl unrolls the book again, because she had not read the preface earlier.

The girl leaves the book not on the table, but in the case, because the library is quieter when everything is kept in order.

The teacher explains to the students why the senate and the magistrates are important in the city.

By reading the consul’s speech and interpreting his words, the students learn how difficult the skill of speaking well is.

The teacher says that a book about magistrates should not be read quickly, because many things must be written in the margin.

A quiet library is better for thinking than a full forum, but the forum is better for hearing orators.

After the assembly two students discuss among themselves whether the consul’s decree or the praetor’s answer was wiser.

The library is quieter than the forum.

Silence in the library is pleasing to the students.

This book must be read by me today.

The orator must be heard in the assembly.

The sister is wiser than her brother, because before she answers she always listens to the whole matter.

An arrow flies from the bow, but the girl says that she thinks a spear is heavier than a light weapon.

After a long war, victory was pleasing to the citizens, but the defeat of the enemies frightened even the boys.

Mother says that victory without pride is better, because after a defeat a long retreat often follows.

If the garrison is prepared, no weapon of the enemies will easily break the gates.

But the teacher warns that the defeat of one people can be a sorrow even to those who have won.

The teacher adds that a wise general knows not only how to advance, but also how to retreat when it is necessary.

This spear is heavier than that one, but the soldier holds it well.

If the rule is just, the citizens support it.

This door is stronger than that one.

Although the sorrow is great, hope nevertheless remains.

The sea is calm, and the sailor leaves the harbor.

The boy is tired, yet he reads books.

There is no one who can translate all the words of a new author perfectly in one day.

There are students who compare two stories with one another before they write an answer.

The teacher replies that she had already proposed the same plan, but that the students had not been ready before.

There is no student who completes this exercise without care; for time and patience are necessary for everyone.

The teacher provides the students with a few examples, then asks what they themselves are going to see in the forum.

The female student asks why the lictors carry the fasces; the teacher answers that they are a sign of power.

Although the elections are long, there are those who want to remain until evening, so that they may cast a vote.

After the elections the teacher reports to the students what was said in the senate-house about the new magistrate.

There are those who think that the forum is a living school, in which boys and girls learn no less than in books.

I think that peace is better than war.

The female candidate is said to be prudent, and many citizens support her.

The tribune hears the envoy and says that the state is in great danger.

Mother’s opinion is that good magistrates ought to seek the common good, not private advantage.

Mother thinks that public life is more difficult than private life.

After the lesson the teacher leads the girls to the riverbank, where a small boat is tied near the bridge.

The girls say that the little boat is small, but firm enough for crossing the river.

When the wind suddenly grows stronger, it is especially necessary that the rudder be firm.

Although the state is great, individual citizens can nevertheless help the common good.

The teacher says that she thinks a senator is better if he listens both to the opinion of the citizens and to the commands of the law.

Father says that the public good is better than private advantage.

If you want to reach the forum, you must cross this bridge.

After the assembly the citizens debate among themselves whether the decree is good.

The scribe reads the will slowly and asks who will be the heir.

Brother and sister say that grandmother’s estate must be divided equally between the two heirs.

The judge says that an inheritance is often in danger without a good guardian.

The ferryman comes to the bank and says that the raft is ready.

Today the river channel is deeper, and so it is not permitted to cross through the ford.

Father says that it makes no difference to him whether the path or the boundary-road is longer, provided that the raft remains safe.

While the rower was guiding the raft slowly, the ferryman showed the girl where the channel was deeper.

After the raft reached the other bank, mother says that it was better to use a prudent ferryman than to go through the ford.

In the house the doctor looks at the girl’s face and says that her forehead is warmer than yesterday.

The baby holds his mother’s palm and laughs, although his cheeks are still red.

One female student writes in her notebook that an inheritance is not always a happy thing if the heir neglects the duty of guardianship.

Another replies that good guardianship for a girl is often more useful than a great estate.

Then the teacher asks which road is more convenient, the path to the ford or the boundary-road to the bridge.

The boundary between the two fields must be preserved.

The water is warmer today than yesterday.

The water in the spring is cooler than the water in the jar.

This road is more useful than that one, because it leads to the forum.

A good ruler is a great help to the fatherland.

The fatherland is dearer to the citizens than private glory.

Glory without dignity is brief.

Ambition often leads a young person to great effort, but it can also be a source of pain for that same person.

Steadfastness is a help to the students in a difficult exercise.

Diligence is also an honor to the student, if she learns new words every day.

Thrift is useful to the family, but luxury often harms the estate.

Poverty is hard for the unhappy girl, but the neighbor’s generosity is a great help to her.

The mother's generosity is no less pleasing to the poor than fresh bread.

A foolish brother despises his poorer sister, but mother is angry with him.

The teacher says that no one ought to be despised because of poverty.

Friendship is dearer to me than money.

Father says that glory without effort is brief.

He is the same person who came to the house yesterday.

This exercise is difficult, but it is useful to the students.

Grandfather says that the rumor about the war is often false.

This woman is poorer than that one, but her spirit is brave.

A lie is to be despised.

Mother says that thrift is a great help to the family.

Grandmother says that a good omen is often a sign of peace.

The teacher says that it is right to tell the truth, but wrong to love a lie.

It is a solemn festival day, and a long procession advances through the forum.

Although the omen was not clear, the augur nevertheless said that the ship could leave the harbor.

Father thinks that the omen is good if the augur interprets the auspice with happy words.

The queen walks to the shrine, because she believes the divine power of the goddess is a help to the fatherland.

The teacher says that it is impious to despise one’s parents, just as it is wrong to swear falsely.

Although the boy is timid, nevertheless he begs his mother and says that it is right to confess a fault openly.

Mother says that religion without mercy is harsh, just as sacrifice without a pious spirit seems harsh.

The judge says that it is wrong to condemn an innocent person, but right to give pardon even to an impious person if he finally tells the truth.

Nothing will prevent us from returning to the shrine on the next day, if the road is safe.

Father says that it is not right to deceive a friend.

Father says that it is wrong to deceive a friend.

If the omen is bad, the sailors stay in the harbor.

Although the pain is great, the spirit nevertheless remains strong.

When the omen was favorable, the sailors wanted to leave the harbor.

The female defendant says that she is innocent, but the judge is still asking who took the money.

The reader’s story is so pleasant that all the listeners are silent.

This writing must be read slowly, because it is beautiful but not always easy.

The teacher says that an insult is annoying and creates noise without reason.

The teacher teaches that seriousness is better than frivolity, if we are discussing public matters.

Kindness and courtesy make a guest happy, even if the house is small.

When the story had been finished, great applause arose from the listeners.

Mother adds that urban speech is not always better than rustic speech.

If someone is clever, can that person also keep modesty? The teacher answers that it is possible, if he does not seek glory.

Not even a reader can remember everything in one day; therefore it is useful to read every day.

The listeners, who were silent at first, afterward asked whether another reading would take place on the next day.

This reading is more pleasant to me than that one, because more women appear wise and brave in this story.

The teacher says that the new author's writing is clear.

This necklace is made of genuine gold.

Today there is noise everywhere, but in the library quiet remains.

Uncle’s handwriting is difficult, but grandmother reads it easily.

The cook adds a measure of water, so that the bread may not be too dry.

The orator’s speech is pleasing to the citizens.

The quiet in the library is more pleasant to me than the noise in the forum.

The brother, however, fears the cold room, because the water in the pool there is very cold.

In the garden beans and cabbage grow well, but the turnips are small this year.

Mother cooks beans and lentils slowly, so that dinner may be simple but good.

One measure of wheat is enough for bread, but father says that more barley must be kept.

Mother mixes a little garum with leek and turnips, but grandmother says that cabbage is better without garum.

Grandmother says that when she was young, she often went to the forum to buy beans and barley.

If the warm room is full, the bath-attendant warns us to wait a little in the changing room.

My aunt says that beans with leek are better than lentils without salt.

Thus both a bath and a small dinner, if they are prepared properly, can be a help to body and mind.

The water in the cold room is very cold.

The turnips must be washed before dinner.

Mother says that hands must be washed properly with soap before dinner.

Today my friend comes to school cheerful and tells everyone that her sister is happy.

Now, however, the letter-carrier reports that the brother has returned home and that mother is now free from worry.

It happens that even brave travelers are sometimes anxious, when the road is long and dark.

That night, which at first was full of fear, afterward became calm and quiet.

In the morning the guest greeted the kind mistress again and gave thanks to the man, who was no longer harsh.

Mother answers that the comfort of good words is very necessary for unhappy people.

Grandmother comforts her and says that her father will come within a few days.

She also warns that not all harsh words are true, and that not every gentle voice seems true.

Mother is happy, because father is at home.

The letter-carrier reports to mother that father will soon return home.

Mother is now free from worry, because her son is at home.

Life is hard, but friendship gives comfort.

The teacher says that prudence is useful not only in public life, but also in private life.

The defendant is fortunate, because the judge acquits her.

This exercise is difficult, but the teacher says that we can complete it.

In January snow often falls, and mother tells the children that January is the coldest month of the year.

February is shorter than January, but in February a strong wind often remains.

In May the garden becomes full of flowers, and May is always most pleasing to grandmother.

July is hotter than June, and in July and August many set out for the sea.

August is also hot, but in August grandfather prefers to sit in the shade.

October is windier, and in October many leaves fall from the trees.

This chapter has twelve pages, and the teacher gives only twelve verses to be read today.

There are sixteen new words in this little book, and the teacher wants the students to keep sixteen of them in memory.

There are eighteen tablets in the box, and the girl says that she wrote eighteen letters yesterday.

Lucia uses a new calendar so that she may know in which month the festival days will be.

I also use a calendar, because without it I easily forget whether it is November or December.

Mother says that we ought to enjoy the summer, especially when July or August is very hot.

The teacher says that this chapter must be read slowly, because the words of the new little book are written in the margin for the sake of keeping them in memory.

Some boys go to the forum for the sake of buying, but others for the sake of listening, because the speaker is going to talk today about the common good.

In January the water in the spring is the coldest.

In February the boys prefer to stay at home, because the wind is cold.

April is more pleasing to me than February, because the first flowers appear in the garden.

This letter is the most pleasing of all to me.

At midday the sun is hotter than in the morning.

The weather is windier today than yesterday, and so the sailors stay in the harbor.

Today we must prepare dinner.

Mother says that sixteen coins are enough to buy bread.

Father says that he will return home after nineteen days.

November is colder than October, and the boys stay at home more willingly.

Spring is most pleasing to me, especially when flowers appear in the garden.

The orator is about to speak in the assembly about peace.

The ruler says that good morals are a great help to the state.

The water in the pool is colder than the water in the hot room.

In December mother says that she is going to go with her children and spouse to relatives.

Most of the children are happy, because they love to travel.

Mother says that the bags are too heavy and that a small amount of provisions is enough.

Two draft animals stand before the carriage: one mule is slow, the other animal is energetic.

Father gives new boots to his son and says that there is great frost on the road.

Although rain is falling, father nevertheless says that the carriage is ready.

Although the road is covered with ice, the mule and the other draft animal nevertheless pull the carriage slowly.

Father tells his spouse that the provisions must be divided equally among the children.

Although the children are tired, mother’s cheerfulness nevertheless makes them happier.

“This provision will be enough,” says the girl, “if we reach the lodging before night.”

Father, although he is tired, remains not lazy but energetic, and takes care of the mule in the stable.

Mother laughs and says that none of the children is lazy, although each one may desire rest.

After dinner everyone discusses the road; I, however, think that there will be less frost tomorrow.

Although the frost is hard and frost remains on the road, the thrifty mother nevertheless lights only a small fire.

For she is thrifty, but she gladly gives the remaining provisions to the guests.

“So cold a rain does not fall often,” says grandmother, “but although winter is harsh, good cheer nevertheless helps us.”

In the morning the meadow is covered with frost.

The window is open, and the cold wind enters the bedroom.

After a long journey, rest is pleasing to everyone.

My male relative prepares lodging for us, because the night is very cold.

The boys have to stay inside the house, because the night is dark.

Mother carries a little provision for the journey with her, because the road is long.
