Lesson 6: The Conjunction And

There are 3 ways to say "and" in Latin

1. et
2. ac or atque
3. ---que
   • "-que" is attached to the second element that is to be joined by the first. The famous S.P.Q.R. uses this: "senatus popolusque romanus" = "the senate and people of Rome".
   • "-que" can join not only nouns, verbs, and adjective, but also entire phrases, sentences and paragraphs. When joining phrases, "-que" is normally attached to the first word of the 2nd phrase.
