One place where Latin has helped me in an English class is the grammar. For whatever reason Latin teaches grammar before we learn it in English. This isn't true in all cases, but it has happened multiple times. The only one I actually remember is when we went over participles in English. When everyone was confused on what a participle is and how it works, I semi-understood them already because we had started learning them in Latin. I remember thinking "I know what this is" when we started talking about them in English. This made participles in English so much easier because I already knew they were verbal adjectives and everything else I put in my notes for participles in Latin.
