Chapter 28, Drill c: Practice using relative clauses.

For each of the following Latin sentences, replace the English clause in parentheses with a Latin relative clause. Give the relative clause in the following order: relative pronoun (preceded by a preposition governing it but nothing else); indirect object; direct object; prepositional phrase; verb. Omit periods and commas.

Example:
cibus (which I want) est domi. Answer: quem cupio. quem is direct object of its clause, and it is masculine singular.

1. Quintus ludum iniit, (which is in a big city).
2. coniurati (who were standing on the steps) ad Caesarem accesserunt.
3. coniurati ad Caesarem accesserunt, (who was lying on the ground).
4. multitudo (which Quintus met) per vias currebat.
5. leges (which the Romans had) insignes erant.
6. navis ad portum navigavit (in which were inns). [inn: caupona, -ae, f.]
7. viatores (whose ship was sailing slowly) nubes spectabant.
8. naves ad portus accesserunt (which were big).
9. nubes (which I see in the sky) crescunt.
10. Quintus, (whose parents never returned), eos invenire diu temptabat.
11. magister (to whom he had given the fare [viaticum -i, n. = fare]) eum in navem vocavit.
12. magnae undae (away from which the ships sailed) viatores terrebant.
13. naves celeres (in or on which there will be many people), Athenas navigabunt.
14. Marcus Cicero est iuvenis (whose friends drink in the tavern).
15. canis (which Horatia had washed) ad agros cucurrit.
16. homines (which the streets were full of) spectabant milites.
17. Quintus e nave exiit (which had arrived at Athens).
18. Quintus mare spectabat (in which there were huge waves).
19. ab aedificiis (which bands of criminals were setting fire to) pueri cucurrerunt.
20. nautae navem solverunt (which Quintus was in).
