Chapter 3: Nundinae

Chapter 3, Drill c: Use of the ablative case: prepositions with ablative and accusative.

Each Latin sentence contains a prepositional phrase in which the noun governed by the preposition is in parentheses (singular or plural). Give the correct form of the noun (ablative or accusative, depending on the preposition and meaning, and in the same number as the nominative provided).

Example:
Quintus in (ager) laborat. Answer: agro: use ablative since in this sentence, in expresses place where, not motion into, and singular because ager is singular.

in, a/ab, e/ex, ad, cum, per

1. Quintus in (agri) currit.
2. puella in (uia) sedet.
3. pueri cum (amici) procedunt.
4. Scintilla cum (filia) aduenit.
5. puellae ad (casa) currunt.
6. valde laeti pueri in (aqua, i.e. from outside) festinant.
7. pueri ab (ager) procedunt.
8. Flaccus pueros in (forum, i.e. into) ducit.
9. puella in (ager) manet.
10. Scintilla in (uia) currit.
(i.e. she runs from the house into the street)
11. Scintilla filiam in (casa, i.e. into) mittit.
12. Horatia in (casa) adest.
13. Horatia ab (ager) ambulat.
14. Horatia cenam in (casa) parat.
15. Scintilla per (uiae) currit.
16. Flaccus et Scintilla cum (filia et filius) cibum emunt.
17. pueri per (ager) procedunt.
18. puellae e (casae) currunt.
19. cum (amicus) adueniunt.

Go to the previous exercise.
