This lesson explores the links between the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece and modern times. We learn just why Latin is a foundational part of English (thank you, William the Conqueror!) and how Latin is at the root of so many modern words today.
Let’s extend our word detective skills and discover how many of the things we see around us – and not just their names – have their roots in the worlds of Rome and Ancient Greece.
So far in this unit, we’ve learned about the similarities between Latin and English. In this lesson we explore how English puts words together to make sentences, and how Latin does it differently.
The final lesson summarises the unit’s grammar and vocabulary learning. We also make our own mini dictionaries and recording the unit’s vocabulary in it before checking what we know in the Unit Quiz.
