See how Kuest teaches it

It asks before it tells, so you do the thinking and it sticks.

You: How do I translate “Urbe capta, Caesar discessit”?
Kuest: Start with the pieces. What case are urbe and capta, and what form is capta?
You: Urbe is ablative, and capta is a perfect passive participle agreeing with it.
Kuest: Right. A noun and participle in the ablative, loosely attached to the rest of the sentence, make an ablative absolute. Since capta is perfect passive, how would you translate urbe capta?
You: “With the city having been captured.”
Kuest: That's the literal version. Now make it sound like natural English with discessit.
You: “After the city was captured, Caesar left.”

A noun and participle in the ablative can form an ablative absolute: urbe capta, “after the city was captured.”

The method

How to study Latin with Kuest

Latin is about reading: you learn endings until you recognize them instantly, then use them to work out who does what in a sentence. Reading aloud, reviewing forms with spaced repetition and translating a little every day works better than memorizing charts once.

  1. Learn forms and syntax step by stepTutor chat

    Ask about the ablative absolute or cum clauses and Kuest breaks the sentence down, asking you to identify each form first.

  2. Memorize endings and principal partsFlashcards

    Turn your vocab lists and declension charts into spaced flashcards with principal parts and genitives included.

  3. Check your translationsSnap a photo

    Snap a passage and your translation and Kuest shows where the grammar supports it and where it doesn't.

  4. Read aloud with the voice tutorVoice tutor

    Read sentences and lines of poetry out loud to practice pronunciation, phrasing and meter.

  5. Drill forms with quizzesQuizzes

    Take short quizzes on parsing, case uses and clause types until identifying them is quick.

  6. Rehearse the real examMock exams

    Take mock exams on sight reading, syllabus passages and short essays modeled on your final or AP Latin.
