Chapter 13, Drill b: Drill creating
relative clauses.
Each of the following pairs of short Latin
sentences can be expressed as one sentence in which one short
sentence is the main clause and the other is a relative clause.
Change the second short sentence into a relative clause; omit
final periods.
Example:
cibus est bonus. cibus est in casa. Answer: qui est in
casa: since cibus is the word which occurs in both
short clauses, it is the antecedent in the first clause and is
replaced by the relative pronoun in the second clause. It keeps
the same number and gender as the antecedent, masculine singular;
it is in the case required by its use in the relative clause,
nominative (subject of the verb in the relative clause; later
you will have other cases of the relative pronoun).
