Chapter 4: Ludus Flaui

Chapter 4, Drill b: Practice using complementary infinitives.

Each Latin sentence has in parentheses an English phrase which can be expressed in Latin as a main verb plus a complementary infinitive. Any words in square brackets [] are either already expressed in the Latin portion or don't need to be expressed. Provide the main verb, any direct object if needed, and the infinitive (in that order, to simplify).

Example:
Quintus (wants to help). Answer: cupit iuuare: "wants" is the main verb, so it has 3rd person singular ending; "to help" is the complementary infinitive, as in English, so it must be infinitive.

1. (You [sing.] want to return) ad casam.
2. (They are able to go) ad agros.
3. (You [plural] ought to write).
4. (they order [the] girls to wait) prope ludum.
5. (You [pl.] want to sleep) in ludo!
6. pueri (want to play).
7. magister (ought to teach).
8. Quintus prope ianuam (wants to wait).
9. (we ought to send) puellas ad forum.
10. Flaccus in agro (wants to work).
11. magister (orders the children to sit).
12. magister fabulam (wants to tell).
13. cibum (we want to buy).
14. Scintilla et Flaccus pueros (want to watch).
15. pueri in horto (want to sleep).
16. cibum et aquam in casa (you [sing.] ought to put).
17. ad agros (we ought to go).
