Chapter 14: Caesaris triumphi

Chapter 14, 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 with the same meaning 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, the participle follows its noun phrase.

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

Quintus uidit (legions going past). (legiones praetereunt) Answer: legiones praetereuntes , accusative because legiones is the direct object of the sentence.

1. magister (boys writing letters) uidit.
(pueri epistolas scribunt.)
2. magister uocauit ([the] waiting boys).
(pueri manent.)
3. Quintus Publiusque spectauerunt (soldiers

shows).
