Chapter 20, Drill c: practice using fourth-declension nouns in sentences.

For each short Latin sentence, the English word or phrase in parentheses can be expressed in Latin by a fourth-declension noun.

Note that in the sentences, although a macron isn't possible on the web, fourth-declension words in cases with a long -u- in the ending have a circumflex to help you understand the sentence and differentiate that ending from a case with a short -u-. In entering your answers, just use -u- whether long or short.

Example:
miles ([his]hands) tollebat. Answer: manus : accusative plural, since it is the direct object, the long -u- you can't enter on the web.

1. Quintus pulchros (verses, i.e. lines of poetry) scripsit.
2. in ([his] verses), Quintus ver et agros laudabat.
3. sonus (of a riot) Quintum a Foro pepulit.
4. Quintus in ([his] hand) librum habebat.
5. ante (the steps) templi magistratus steterunt.
6. Quintus (the magistrate) gratias egit.
7. habesne librum (of verses)?
8. Quintus (verses) Graecos nondum legere poterat.
9. sine (an army) imperator vincere non potest.
10. in (the steps) aedificii Quintus et amici stabant.
11. (in, i.e. by means of, [their] hands) discipuli libros tenebant.
12. homines qui prope oratorem stabant ([their] hands) tollebant.
13. ille homines ad (the magistrate) ducebat.

Go to the previous exercise.
