Chapter 9, Drill c: Practice using noun + genitive phrases.

Each English phrase in parentheses in a Latin sentence can be translated into a Latin phrase consisting of a noun with a genitive. Give the correct Latin phrase (noun, in whatever case it needs to be, + genitive).

Example:
(The girl's father) est fessus. Answer: pater puellae (puellae pater is also correct but here stay with noun + genitive order): pater is nominative because it's the subject, and puellae is genitive because she is the possessor.

1. Horatia (Quintus' friend) videt.
2. puer ad (the door of the house)
3. (The walls of the house) parvi sunt.
4. (The master's [use magister] horses) ad agrum currunt.
5. puellae ex (Flaccus' field) currunt.
6. pueri per (the streets of the city) currunt.
7. (The sons of Flaccus) audio.
8. (The daughters of Scintilla) monemus.
9. coloni (the sons of the king) non amant.
10. "o Quinte!" Scintilla dicit. "ad (Flaccus' field) festina!"
11. puer ([his] father's horses) ducit.
12. puer ad (the door of the school) accedunt.
