- ·Use difficult Latin grammar structures, inflections, and sentence patterns correctly in your writing
- ·Choose appropriate and varied vocabulary that demonstrates your knowledge of Latin
- ·Construct sentences that are grammatically suitable and unambiguous so another Latin reader can clearly understand your meaning
