Congratulations! You've made it to Level 3 of the CE paper! SO ... take a deep breath and get ready for....

  • The DIVINE FORTY-NINE!

 In fact, there aren't that many extra words to learn for Level 3 - and some of them are so easy you're bound to know them already....!

There are once again a few more numbers required for this level: you need to know the multiples of ten (30-90) plus 100 and 1000.

 ?

literally: 'amongst those things' (inter ea); some people remember it visually by the -ea- similarity; otherwise, it is a mean one - and while you're thinking it's mean, that's what it means - mean-while!

 NEITHER...NOR ? worth an entry on its own! If two runners are 'neck and neck', neither one is winning, and nor is the other
UT/NE (IN ORDER) TO, (IN ORDER) NOT TO ? needs a whole topic on its own to explain the difference between Purpose Clauses and Indirect Commands. See future pages of this website! P.S. if you're wondering why there are only apparently 48 boxes in the Divine 49, it's because UT and NE are, of course, two different words!
