Lesson 5 | The Third Noun Pattern
Guided Practice 1: John 1:1-5
There are four practice assignments in the next four steps that focus on third pattern nouns. For each one:
Read the text aloud
Diagram and translate the text by using our 5-step process
Clauses: Divide the text into clauses
Main Verb: Identify the main verb
Subject: Identify the verb’s subject
Object: Identify the verb’s object (or predicate nominative)
Extras: Identify and diagram the remaining parts
Watch the video to check your work.
For the first step (clauses), you need to use the phrasing module. Once you divide the clauses, you can use the diagramming module to complete the remaining four steps. I colored the main verbs red in each sentence, and I colored infinitives green. If you do not know a word, click on the word to bring up its information. However, whenever possible try to parse the word before you click on it, even if you do not know the word. I suggest that you work with a piece of paper so that you can write down the parsing for each word.
(1) Read aloud. (2) Diagram & translate with the 5 Steps.
