There probably is a perfectly good reason for why Latin grammars are the way they are. It likely has to do with future lessons. I would hang tight until you get further down the road.

Ha! In the mouth of two witnesses, it is established, that this is rigamarole (pronounced, ree gah mah ROH lay, make sure you trill the r's) without even a smidgeon of marinara to help it down.
I am beginning this as a Latin course for the kids (me learning as well). But I think I will teach the infinitive and a proper conjugation, then when that is grasped I will follow the text with its "stem" stuff just in case it pops back up later for some mystical heretofore unknown purposes.
