Chapter 17: Athenis

Chapter 17, Drill b: Practice using passive verbs by changing short sentences from active to passive.

The following short Latin sentences are active voice. Change the sentence to passive voice so that the ultimate meaning is the same. Use the same word order in the sentence as in the original, so that a different word order won't be counted wrong although it may be acceptable. For agent, use a before consonants and ab before vowels and h; for means or instrument, no preposition.

Examples:
Scintilla pisces comparat. Answer: a Scintilla pisces comparantur (pisces, the subject of the passive verb, is plural). "pisces a Scintilla comparantur" would also be correct but isn't coded as a possible answer, for convenience.
nos pellunt. Answer: ab eis {nos] pellimur. The subject of the verb is implied "they", so they (ab eis) are the agent. "nos" is the direct object, so whether expressed or not it is the subject.

For unspecified he she it use is ea id.

1. tu ianuam claudis.
2. uiri arma rapiebant.
3. te summo gaudio accipiam.
4. tres uiri imperium diuidebant.
