Learning Sanskrit – Class 17

The teacher had already told us that she would need the whole of November to cover the Past Tense. We didn’t have any class in the first week because her son’s birthday was on the day of the class. That means it would take 3 classes to cover the topic. Class 17 was the beginning of it.

As with earlier tenses, we learnt the 9 forms for both परस्मैपद and आत्मनेपद. We spent the rest of the class formulating past tense of one verb each of परस्मैपद and आत्मनेपद in each of the 4 Ganaas i.e. 1, 4, 6 and 10.

The teacher also informed us that she won’t cover any new material after the last class in November. 1^st and 2^nd class in December would be used for revision and clarification of doubts, if any. Most probably the exam would be conducted in 3^rd week. The result would be declared 2 weeks after that i.e. hopefully before 31 December.

Can’t believe the course is about to end.
