Ah, sloppy of me! I agree with his hortationibus (admonitus as I wrote is even straight out grammatically wrong; I think I mixed up admoneo with hortor) or just solve it the way the answer key suggests. And the change in word order you suggested seems good. I also used a sub-clause in two instances where the answer key used participles instead... but my solutions certainly can't be incorrect.bedwere wrote:Two wrong endings you'd probably find yourself, if you read it again tomorrow.
Instead of cum his, I'd write his hortationibus or something like that.
I'd write ex
I'd put nonnullos e cas.. egressos

Exercise 32
The enemy being now defeated, the general led his men back to the camp, which had been fortified by a rampart. The lieutenant having been left in the camp, had not heard about the battle. When he saw the army at a distance, he went to the top of the rampart to await them. As they approached, he went out and asked them about the fight. But they were so tired that they would tell him nothing, but threw away teyr arms and went to their tents.
Hostibus iam victis dux suos in castra vallo munita reduxit. Legatus in castris relictus de proelio non cognovit. Exercito procul viso ad vallum summum ascendit, ut expectat. Egressus appropinquantes de proelio interrogavit. Tam autem defessi erant ut ei nihil dicere vellent, sed armis abiectis ad tabernacula se conferrent.
Not sure if using autem in the last sentence is correct, but I didn't wanna write sed ..., sed because it looks ugly. Thanks in advance for any input!
