Chapter 26, Horatius iter Brundisium fecit

Chapter 26, Drill b: Practice using conditions, si-clause.

In this exercise, the verb to be supplied is in the si clause in each sentence. NB: many of these are essentially the same conditional sentences as in Drill a, except that here you supply the if clause verb instead of the main clause verb, and the kind of condition has changed. Provide the correct Latin form of the verb given in English in parentheses, depending on the type of condition (not the same as in the same sentence in Drill a) and remembering Latin time precision:

Example:
si ille (sings), nos nos auertemus. Answer: cantauerit: although English idiom uses present tense, loosely, Latin idiom is more precise. He will sing (future) but before we then turn aside, so future perfect.

1. si imber (had arrived), uiatores reversi essent.
2. si imber (threatens), omnes domum redeunt.
(Use immineo)
3. si nox signa caelo (were scattering), peteremus hospitium
modicum.
4. si mane (they had set out), eodem die aduenissent.
5. Horatius, si Maecenatem (accompanies), amicis occurret.
6. si Maecenas iter Brundisium non (makes), Quintus eum
non comitabitur.
7. si magna arte (you wrote), Maecenas te arcesseret.
8. si aes (is collected), Quintus lintrem conscendere poterit.
(use exigo -ere exegi exactum)
9. si culices non somnos (were turning aside), Quintus
laetus esset.
10. si nauta absentem amicam totam noctem (sings), Quintus
non bene dormiet. (use canto -are, sing about)
11. Quintus, si non bene (should sleep), cras fessus sit.
12. illi nautae, si multa uappa proluti non (are), melius
cantant.
13. hic nauta, si multa uappa prolutus non (were), melius
cantaret.
14. ille uiator, si (had perceived) lintrem non procedere,
caput nautae fuste doluisset.
15. nauta piger, si mulam saxo (had tied), dormire potuisset.
(use religo -are -aui)
16. Quintus, si Plotio et Vario Vergilioque (should meet),
laetus sit.
17. nonne Antonius, si in Aegypto non (were lingering),
uinceret? (use cesso -are)
18. si iter longum (were), uiatores fessi fierent.
19. Octauianus, si totum populum Italiae sibi
(is uniting/conciliating), auctoritatem suam paulatim auget.
(use concilio -are)
20. Marce, si tantum uini (you drink), philosophiam
non cognosces.
21. si culices ranaeque somnos non (are turning aside),
Quintus bene dormit.
22. si lintrem (we had boarded), iter multo celerius
fecissemus.
23. si mula lintrem (should pull/drag), viatores dormire
possint.
24. si mula lintrem (pulls), uiatores dormire poterunt.
25. si mula pastum (is sent), linter non procedet.
