Chapter 18, Drill c: drill expressions of time.

Each short Latin sentence contains a time expression in English in parentheses. Provide the correct Latin expression, giving the adjective first if there is one. N.B.: dies (5th declension noun) has ablative singular die and plural diebus, and accusative singular diem and plural dies.

Examples:
(For three hours) Quintus paterque ambulabant. Answer: tres horas: accusative because it expresses how long, i.e. extent of time.
(In the fourth hour) silvas viderunt. Answer: quarta hora: ablative because it expresses time when.
