Chapter 28, Horatius rusticus fit

Chapter 28, Drill b: Practice using intransitive verbs in the passive.

Each of the expressions in parentheses can be expressed by a passive verb used impersonally. Provide the appropriate verb expressions:

Examples:
He returned home. Answer: domum reditum est.
They (are fighting bravely). Answer: fortiter pugnatur.
When the subject is "they" or a "we" etc. which has presumably already been mentioned, no agent is necessary. (They ran) becomes "cursum est."

1. The soldiers set out at dawn; (they arrived)
at the camp early. (it was arrived)
2. He (trusted the Muses.) Use credo, imperfect.
3. always (milites fought [habitual action, use imperfect])
fiercely.
4. (I was ordered) to go.
5. (Horatius had arrived) at Rome.
6. For a long time (Augustus spoke).
7. (Vergilus was persuaded [completed action; perfect]) to
praise Augustus.
8. After the poetry readings (they returned)
to the country. Use redeo.
9. (We fled.)
10. After the poetry reading, (they returned)
home. [redeo redire redii reditum]
11. People (ran [snapshot]) this way and that.
12. Horatius avoided the city; (he went back)
to the farm. Use recedo.
13. Horatius looked for some friends but
already (they had left) Rome. Use discedo.
