In any language, comprehension is surer when you recognize the basic structure of the language. In Chapter 1 you have met two basic sentence patterns, the Subject-Verb pattern, with an expressed subject and a verb, and Subject-Verb-Complement pattern, with an expressed subject, a linking verb ("is"), and a complement (predicate noun or predicate adjective).
In this exercise, identify which of the two patterns each Latin sentence is, answering SV or SVC where appropriate.
In this exercise, supply the correct Latin word from Chapter 1 vocabulary.
