Twelfth class (May 6th)
Summary
We spent the first half of the class talking about original Esperanto literature, including the works Modernaj robinzonoj and Maskerado ĉirkaŭ la morto by Tivadar Schwartz.
In the second half we covered some remaining questions from chapter 9, reviewed exercises from the first half of chapter 10, and we read and discussed chapter 3 of Gerda malaperis.
By now you should be familiar with:
-
Using the infinitive ending -i with prepositions.
-
Using the ending -us in conditional sentences.
-
How the position of certain words like nur and ankaŭ can make a significant difference in the meaning of a sentence.
Homework
Read the remainder of chapter 10 and solve the remaining exercises.
