Using vоcаbulаry entries When we reаd Latin, it's very impоrtant tо use all the tools we have at our disposal. Vocabulary lists and entries are very important in this regard, but we have to know how to use them. In Wheelock's Latin, vocabulary entries for verbs typically contain: first, the principal parts of the verb; next, the translation of the verb into English; and finally, in parentheses, a list of cognate words in English that help us remember the words with English words that are derived from Latin. In the instance of vocō, vocāre, the English translation "call, summon" is offered. These words are separated by a comma, which indicates that these are both roughly equivalent translations. We could translate this sentence: "Maecenas and Vergil are summoning me today" or "Maecenas and Vergil are calling me today", and both would be correct. Note that in this translation, since we have named subjects, we don't need a pronoun: "Maecenas and Vergil *they are summoning me today" would be incorrect! Some verbs, however, have translations separated by semi-colons, like dēbeō, dēbēre: "to owe; ought, must". This verb appears in the next sentence, so let's keep reading to see how we translate this verb!
