Chapter 26, Drill b: Practice using present active participle, all cases.

Each Latin sentence contains an English present participle or participial phrase in parentheses, followed by a short Latin sentence also in parentheses. Change the short Latin sentence into the participial phrase. Word order: when the participle is merely an adjective, it can precede or follow the noun; otherwise, use noun/modifiers/direct object/participle order. When a noun is bracketed, leave it out.

Example:
([The] loving mother) puellam spectabat. (mater amat.) Answer: mater amans or amans mater, nominative because mater is the subject of the sentence.

1. magister (boys writing letters) vidit. (pueri epistolas scribunt.)
2. magister vocavit ([the] waiting boys). (pueri manent.)
3. clamor (of [men] fighting) cives terruerunt. ([viri] pugnant.)
4. Quintus territus erat (by the burning buildings). (aedificia ardent.)
