Chapter 2, Drill d: Identifying sentence patterns

Each of the following short Latin sentences is in one of the basic sentence patterns covered in Chapters 1 and 2. Identify the pattern by choosing SV for sentences with a subject and action verb; choose SVC for sentences consisting of a subject, a linking verb, and a complement (predicate noun or predicate adjective); choose S+V if the subject of the verb is not expressed (whatever else is in the sentence); and choose SOV if the verb has a direct object.

Examples:
Question: Horatia cenam parat. Answer: SOV (cenam is direct object.)
Question: laborat. Answer: S+V
