4. Egō leōnem _________. I recognize the lion.
a. inveniēbatis
b. agnōscō- The subject of the sentence, ego, means “I” so you need a verb with an “I” ending. ō- is the
present tense 1st person singular “I” ending
c. incitāmus
d. pulsāvit
5. Coquus _________ cibum parābat. The cook was preparing the food for Quintus
a. Quintō The original sentence is “the cook was preparing the food.” The logical way to fit in Quintus is
to make him the indirect object- The cook was preparing the food for Quintus,” thus requiring a dative
ending.

a.
b.
c.

so they both need to be nominative.
13. Marce, _________ statuās ad villam! Marcus, bring the statues to the house.

imperative. Fer is an irregular imperative meaning bring!

Sullae
Sullā
16. Agricolae erant _________. The farmers are good.
a. optimae
b. optima
c. optimī The adjective is acting as a predicate nominative describing farmers and needs to be nominative
plural. Agricola, however, is a rare 1st declension word that is masculine and so you need the masculine
nominative plural ending.
d. optimus
17. Ancillae! Sacrificium _________! Slave girls! Make a sacrifice!
a. facite Here you are giving a command to more than one person. You take the 2nd principal part of the
