Chapter 30, Drill b: Practice using relative clauses with the subjunctive.

Each Latin sentence contains a phrase in English in parentheses which can be a relative clause of purpose in Latin (one type of relative clause with the subjunctive). Translate into a relative purpose clause:

Example:
Marcus Quintusque puerum arcessivit (to bring wine [use fero]). Answer: qui vinum ferret

1. Quintus carmen confecit (which was to celebrate)
ludos saeculares.
2. Quintus carmen ad Maecenatem misit (in order
to explain, i.e. which was to explain) cur adhuc desideretur.
3. orationes scribebat (so others might deliver
them, i.e. which others were to deliver).
habeo = deliver
4. ille epistolam scribebat (in which, i.e. by means
of which, he might propose) aliquid.
5. Vergilius carmina scripsit (to praise, i.e. which
were to praise) Augustus.
6. ueni mecum, amice, ad urbem (to live in it,
i.e. in which you might live) beatus.
7. ad fundum ibo (to spend the winter in it,
i.e. in which I might spend) hiemem.

perago -ere = to spend, from ago -ere
8. Quintus epistolam ad Maecenatem misit (to
propose, i.e. by which he might propose) ut Maecenas
ad fundum adveniret.
9. Quintus uinum condebat (to drink, i.e.
which he might drink).
10. fundus Quinto cordi erat (to escape to, i.e.
to where he might escape).

Go to the previous exercise.
