08.03.25: Level 1; readings [1] - [5]: review (2)

Latin is crammed with “little words”, very often adverbs that state, for example, where, when or how often an action takes places, or words that connect sentences or ask questions. These words appear so frequently that it’s important to recognise them. One way is to try to group them based on related ideas e.g. time. Match the English with the Latin words and phrases in the wordclouds.
