Chapter 5: Flauius fabulam narrat

Chapter 5, Drill c: Practice using noun + genitive phrases.

Each English phrase in parentheses in a Latin sentence can be translated into a Latin phrase consisting of a noun with a genitive. Give the correct Latin phrase (noun, in whatever case it needs to be, + genitive).

Example:
(The girl's father) est fessus. Answer: pater puellae (puellae pater is also correct but here stay with noun + genitive order): pater is nominative because it's the subject, and puellae is genitive because she is the possessor.

1. Graeci uident (the city's king/king of the city).
2. Troiani currunt ab (the anger of Achilles).
Achilles Achillis m.
3. Graeci oppugnant (the walls of the city).
4. (The mother's children/the children of the mother)
cenam cupiunt.
5. puellae ex (Flaccus' field/the field of Flaccus) currunt.
6. pueri per (the streets of the city) currunt.
7. (The sons of the chiefs) audio.
8. (The daughters of Scintilla) monemus.
9. coloni (the sons of the king) non amant.
10. "o Quinte!" Scintilla dicit. "ad (Flaccus' field/the field
of Flaccus) festina!"
11. (The kings' brothers/the brothers of the kings"
pugnant in viis.
12. Achilles trahit (the body of Hector) ad naues.
Hector Hectoris m.
13. omnes lugent (the death of the chief).

Go to the previous exercise.
