A great supplementary text

I like this text. It uses the same order of cases as I use in some of my other grammars, namely, nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and ablative. It makes mention of the vocative case but doesn't include it everywhere to hinder our learning and memorisation. Why is case ordering so important? I believe our memories adapt to things we see. I don't think we should even LOOK at a declension with the nouns going in a different order to that which we're used to. Writing this reminds me of those police line-up cases in which the victim of crime begins to think that someone innocent in the line-up is the person who committed the crime, simply because our memories graft new input onto old experiences. The other grammars I'd use this in association with are Moreland & Fleischer's Latin: An Intensive Course and John F. Collins' Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin. A lot of drills, vocab and especially grammatical information have been condensed into a handy, readable volume. As for errors, as mentioned by "a reader" subsequent reviewer, it would have actually been a "helpful review" if s/he'd actually told us exactly where the errors were. Thoroughly recommended alongside your other Latin grammar (if you use the same case ordering).
