REVIEW: At this point in the formative, you need to review the above information. For verbs, you can drill or create your own sentences. Practice saying them and writing them. It is okay if you need to use the rhythm of the conjugation everytime (aka you may need to see it conjugated for IL before you remember NOUS). Don't review verbs you already know...you already know them!!

This next section is the formative assessments. Here, you will practice and then correct. Try it once without notes and then correct based on your notes and the above information. There is a space at the bottom of each exercise where you are expected to reflect on what aspects of the exercises were the hardest and where you need to improve. On each exercise, you need to get 85% correct to move on, but you may choose to do them over until you hav 100%. When you feel comfortable, there is no need to keep going. Don't waste your time!
