Chapter 13, Drill b: Drill creating relative clauses.

Each of the following pairs of short Latin sentences can be expressed as one sentence in which one short sentence is the main clause and the other is a relative clause. Change the second short sentence into a relative clause; omit final periods.

Example:
cibus est bonus. cibus est in casa. Answer: qui est in casa: since cibus is the word which occurs in both short clauses, it is the antecedent in the first clause and is replaced by the relative pronoun in the second clause. It keeps the same number and gender as the antecedent, masculine singular; it is in the case required by its use in the relative clause, nominative (subject of the verb in the relative clause; later you will have other cases of the relative pronoun).

1. Quintus e nave exit. navis ad urbem advenit.
2. Quintus in ludum init. ludus est in urbe magna.
3. Roma est urbs magna. urbs in Italia est.
4. pueri surgunt. pueri magistri vocem audiunt.
5. Psyche voces audit. voces sunt divinae.
6. Psyche virum amat. vir est deus.
7. Quintus arborem videt. arbor prope mare est.
8. Psyche vivit in casa. casa est pulchra.
9. Quintus pulchras puellas spectat. puellae in via ambulant.
10. nautae ventum timent. ventus magnum periculum facere potest.
11. vir feminae formam videt. femina est pulchra.
12. tempus [tempus, temporis, n.: time] fugit. tempus neminem exspectat.
13. nomen viro est Flavius. nomen est omnibus notum.

Go to the previous exercise.
