Unit Six Exercises (II)
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:47 pm
Hello -
The English to Latin I could not find in the answer key (the page ends with the exercises from part I). Could someone help me check their accuracy?
1 - We understood that the city, after it had been attacked, was being destroyed by the strength of the soldiers.
Intelleximus urbem oppugnatam* militum vi deleri.
2 - Did you hear the rumors that the soldiers were rushing into the cities?
Audivistine rumores milites in oppida ruere?
3 - We understand that a model of the city walls has been shown to the men who are about to attack the city with fire and sword.
Intelligimus urbis moenium exemplum gladio & igni oppugnaturibus monstratum esse.
4 - They told the father of the brothers that the sons had been chosen in order that they might fight around the city walls.
Fratrum patri dixerunt filios electos esse ut urbis circa moenia pugnaturi essent.
5 - We shall say that poets should write books not only about Jupiter and Juno, but also about the sea and about the animals of the mountains.
Dicemus poetis libros scribendos esse non tantum de Iove & Iunone, sed etiam de mari et montium animalibus.
6 - We know that a war cannot be waged forcefully on the sea by the soldiers without great danger.
Scimus non sine magno periculo bellum in mari vi geri non posse.
* If I wanted to use the construct Postquam..., does this remain part of the infinitive (postquam oppugnatam esse), or do I need to/can I conjugate the verb and turn the subject into the nominative (postquam oppugnata est)?
Thanks for your help!
