## In authors' words

### What they found (results)

Reports that distinguishing the competing senses of English 'to' and naming their relationships to the Latin constructions made a persistently difficult topic 'way less scary' for students, and that the author found the framework useful enough to reread and carry into lesson planning.

## Commentary

### In short

A practitioner review that then teaches with the framework, reporting how distinction-making and relationship-naming were used to restructure Latin grammar instruction for English-only beginners.
