Chapter 26, Drill c: Practice formation of questions.

Change the short Latin sentences into questions, as requested, as either a straight question (-ne on the emphatic word, first in the sentence), an interrogative word, or a question expecting a "yes" answer (nonne) or a "no" answer (num). Include question mark.

Example:
Quintus tantam urbem viderat. (straight question; emphasis on Quintus) Answer: Quintusne tantam urbem viderat?

1. domo abis. (you are, are you not?)
2. puer flebat. (why?)
3. dixit. (What did he say?)
4. templum Iovis altum est. (straight question; emphasis on verb)
5. pauperes in media urbe sunt. (they are, aren't they?)
6. pauperes in media urbe sunt. (they are not, are they?)
7. pauperes in media urbe sunt. (straight question; emphasize poor people)
8. mihi gratias egit. (straight question; emphasize me.)
9. domum rediit. (he did, did he not?)
10. veterem in medio Foro viderat. (straight question; emphasixe the old man)
11. veterem in medio Foro viderat. (straight question; emphasize the verb)
12. veterem in medio Foro viderat. (expecting the answer no)
13. veterem in medio Foro viderat. (expecting the answer yes)
14. iuvenes oculos aperuerunt. (did they? emphasize verb)
15. quattuor noctes in media urbe manserunt. (straight question; emphasize verb)
16. ardet templum. (straight question; emphasize verb)
17. ardet templum. (expecting the answer no)
18. ardet templum. (expecting the answer yes)

Go to the previous exercise.
