Capitulum XXII

 

Exercitium 1

 

This exercise is a short little work-out with adjectives ending in ­–eus.  The three that show up in this Lectio are, as glossed in the margin of the text:

 

aureus, -a, -um

ligneus, -a, -um

ferreus, -a, -um

ex aurō factus

ē/ex lignō factus

ē/ex ferrō factus

 

This should be fairly simple, as long as youʻre careful to make sure that the adjective agrees in number, case and gender with the noun it modifies.  N.b. that the new word for door, foris, is feminine.

 

0.      ānulus ex aurō factus = ānulus aur_________

1.      baculum ē lignō factum = baculum lign__________

2.      catēna ex ferrō facta = catēna ferr_________

3.      nummī ex aurō factī = nummī aur__________

4.      stilus ferreus = stilus _______ _______________   ____________

5.      pōculum aureum = pōculum ________   __________________   __________

6.      forēs ligneae = forēs ________ _________________   ___________

Exercitium 4

 

This exercise should be a fairly easy bit of work with the supines.  Check out the outline, section I, C, uses of the first and second supine.

 

Again, with verbs of motion (like īre, venīre, mittere), a supine in the accusative expresses purpose.

 

The only other form of the supine, the ablative –ū, qualifies a certain kind of adjective, like easy, difficult, horrible, painful, and a few others, e.g., wonderful to say = mirābile dictū.

 

For the sake of convenience Iʻve put all the verbs in this exercise in the box at the bottom, in the three principal parts: present infinitive, perfect infinitive and supine.

 

1.    Post merīdiem Iūlius ambulā______ īre solet.

2.    Postquam ambulāvit, lavā______ it.

3.    Vesperī hominēs dormī______ eunt.

4.    Māne amīcī ad vīllam veniunt dominum salūtā______.

5.    Mēdus et Lydia in Graeciam eunt habitā______.

6.    Hostēs castra oppugnā______ veniunt.

7.    Tabellārius nōn mittitur pecūniam postulā______.

8.    Facile est vōcem magistrī audīre = Vōx magistrī est facilis audī______.

9.    Difficile est nōmina barbara dīcere = Nōmina barbara difficilia sunt dic______.

10. Quae est dea pulcherrima? Id difficile scī______ est.

ambulāre, ambulāvisse, ambulātum

lavāre, lavisse, lavātum

dormīre, dormīvisse, dormītum

salūtāre, salūtāvisse, salūtātum

habitāre, habitāvisse, habitātum

oppugnāre, oppugnāvisse, oppugnātum

postulāre, postulāvisse, postulātum

audīre, audīvisse, audītum

Exercitium 5

The irregular verb ferre and its forms are the subject of this exercise.  It is necessary to infer the meaning of each sentence and then supply the form of ferre which completes it in a way which makes sense and is grammatically correct.  Consider whether the form needed is infinitive, imperative or indicative.  Consider whether the subject, express or implied, is first, second or third person and whether it is singular or plural.  Consider whether the verb should be made in the passive voice [a clue here would be whether the sentence contains an apparent ablative of agent].  The forms are spelled out in the margin.

 

1.    Mēdus, quī rēs Mārcī ____________ solet, hodiē abest.

2.    Itaque Mārcus ad lūdum ambulāns rēs suās ipse ___________.

3.    Titus et Sextus semper rēs suās ipsī ________________.

4.    Titus: "Cūr tū ipse rēs tuās ____________ hodiē, Mārce?"

5.    Mārcus: "Ipse rēs meās __________, quia Mēdus abest; sed cūr vōs semper rēs vestrās ipsī ________________."

6.    Titus: "Nōs rēs nostrās ipsī _______________, quia in ipsō oppidō Tūsculō habitāmus, nōn procul ab oppidō."

7.    Mārcus: "Venīte mēcum ac rēs meās ______________!"

8.    Sextus: "Rēs tuās _____________ nōlumus.  Ipse rēs tuās _____________, Mārce!"

9.    Tabula, quae ā Mēdō _____________ solet, hodiē ā Mārcō _________________.
