Chapter 40, Drill d: practice using various forms of irregular verbs and semi-deponents.

Each of the following short Latin sentences has in parentheses an English verb or verb phrase which can be translated by some form of one of the irregular verbs in this lesson. Provide the appropriate form.

Example:
