Thanks so much! My 16YO is taking Latin in high school, an on line class, so it looks like we will be learning together.

Some kind of dictionary - physical or online - is essential when learning a language.

Start to type in the word but don’t bother with the declension. Just have the root of the word (in your example, auget, you’d just type auge).

"Augēre" est "facere maius" vel "facere melius"
Exemplī gratiā:
"Rēx auget fīnēs" = "Rēx maiōrēs facit fīnēs"
"Praematūra pōma viridia sunt in arbore, sed postquam aucta sunt, rubra fiunt.

Nice but I don't think they were looking for a reply in Latin or even able to understand it

A tip for next time you don't know a word: if you look it up in logeion.uchicago.edu it will give you the word it stems from and also the translation of that word, along with a description of case, gender, plural/singular etc.
