• Full grammatical explanations aid student comprehension
• Useful exercises (with answer key) clear up confusion fast
• Additional etymological information helps students memorize
• Companion website for pronunciation help and downloadable drill sheets, vocabulary lists, and more

Comments and Reviews

...while not every student will need the supplementary notes provided in this book, those that do will find that Grote creates a well-marked path over the unfamiliar territory of Latin Grammar. This book has been much-needed over the past five or ten years, and I am extremely pleased to see it available.

Instructors who use this book are likely to see the pace of their class accelerate and their students understand the material in the textbook more fully.

A Comprehensive Guide to Wheelock’s Latin is an independent enterprise. Grote’s explanations of grammar are, if anything, even more user-friendly that LaFleur’s own. Each chapter concludes with useful remarks, on items in the vocabulary list . . . It could also serve as a sort of teacher’s manual for someone, especially a graduate student, using Wheelock for the first time.
