I would like through this forum to express my gratitude to Geoffrey Steadman for his exceptional generosity in making the pdf files for his books available for free. He has just now invited grateful recipients of his generosity to make a contribution in support of all this work. I have done so myself, and hope that many others on this forum will do likewise.
I echo Petrarch101. Although I’ve paid for several of his paperbacks, it’s very convenient to have G. Steadman’s pdf files available. I can print a commentary page and keep it handy, along with the attikos app, the LCL translation, and Louise Pratt’s textbook on reading Plato’s Symposium. So I sent in a contribution.
I find that grammatical precepts and forms stick in memory better if I frequently revisit them while working to understand a particular sentence.
This is why those 600-verbs books were so useful in French and Latin. Every time I had to look up a verb form, I spent a minute or so in conjugation drill on that particular verb.
