  1. Imperfect and Perfect Practice The following are the sentences from the pictures at the beginning of Stage 6. Pay attention to the tense of the verb.

  2. Translate the sentence from Latin to English BEFORE you click to see the translation. I’m not kidding!

  3. servī per viamambulābant. The slaves were walking through the street. (nom plural + imperfect tense AND viam is the OOP of per)

  4. canissubitolatrāvit. Suddenly a dog barked. Subito is an adverb. From what principal part does latravit come?

  5. Grumiocanemtimēbat. Grumio was fearing the dog. Yes, it is okay to say, “Grumio was afraid of the dog.” Right now, though, think about how I want you to get used to translating the imperfect!

  6. “pestis!” clamāvitcoquus. “Pest!”, shouted the cook. It is okay to say, “the cook shouted.” Either way works. For those of you in certamen, did you spot that pestis is in the vocative case?

  7. Clemens eratfortis. Clemens was brave. It is okay to translate fortis as strong – whatever you think better fits the situation. erat is imperfect, but it does not have –bain it. Remember, the verb to be is an irregular verb, and it does not follow all the rules!

  8. sedcanisservumsuperāvit. But the dog overpowered / overcame / conquered the slave.

  9. Quintus per viamambulābat. Quintus was walking through the street.

  10. iuvenisclamoremaudīvit. The youth heard the shout / uproar. Apparently, there is some sort of Bat-signal in Pompeii.

  11. canisClementemvexābat. The dog was bothering Clemens. We get the English word vex from vexare. If you don’t know the word, look it up. Be sure to use it at least once over break!

  12. Quintus canempulsāvit. Quintus hit the dog. I know. I don’t approve of violence against animals either, but it was attacking Clemens.

  13. servīerantlaetī. The slaves were happy. Look at the number, gender, and case of laeti. Why? Remember that adjectives must agree with their nouns in number, gender, and case. Why is laeti in that case? Predicate nominative

  14. servīQuintumlaudāvērunt. The slaves praised Quintus. Eugepae! Quintus is a hero!

  15. These sentences showed a simple Latin sentence structure. Subject + Direct Object + Verb Nominative + Accusative + Verb The book wants you to focus on verb tense – not sentence structure. Refer back to these sentences when you want to think about how/why the imperfect and perfect are used.
