Latin has five different way of classifying its nouns and, as you know, those are called declensions. The majority of words are in the first three declensions, that's why we focused on learning those exclusively. You have been translating words of the other declensions without realizing it even now. But we are at the stage where we should learn the other two declensions. They are very easy; in fact, they mimic what we already know with the other three declensions.
Look on page 228, on top, the last two declensions are given: fourth and fifth. There are no others.
Here is a video on the fourth declension:

So far so good. Let's move to the fifth declension with this video and you will be in great shape:
Check time! Let's see how much we retain with these exercises:

Two Popular Fourth Declension Nouns
Two Popular Fifth Declension Nouns
Every language has its little quirks and Latin has its but there are fortunately few of them. That's a benefit of being a 'dead' language, it does not change the way modern languages do with new additions, words, and grammar.
Look at a very short lesson on page 229: the Partitive Genitive or Genitive of the Whole. It's similar to saying that you learn 'part of the Latin' right now and Latin would say 'aliquid novi' or 'something of the new', instead of saying 'something new.' Here is a little exercise to learn the point and then we are done with new grammar for now.
Partitive Genitive
Onto vocabulary: look at page 227, then take on these:
vocabulary 1
vocabulary 2
vocabulary 3
Look at page 226. Roman streets were crowded with the City full of activity during the day, so the law was that carriage and animal traffic could enter only at night. That keeps the streets open for people to use. If you were to visit Rome today you might think that would be still a good law to have!
With that in mind you can connect the accident on the page with why it's so early and the boys are just now being woken up.
Translate the story on page 227 into your notebooks, numbering each sentence as you are well used to doing now. Great Work friends.
Before we are finished, the culture lesson is the impression Rome left on foreigners even of that era. Read about the international crowds on page 230 and watch this video to form your own impressions. Then do this cultural exercise:
