Chapter 6, Drill b: Practice using complementary
infinitives.
Each Latin sentence has in parentheses
an English phrase which can be expressed in Latin as a main verb
plus a complementary infinitive. Any words in square brackets
[ ] are either already expressed in the Latin portion or don't
need to be expressed. Provide the main verb and the infinitive
(in that order, to simplify).
Example:
Quintus Horatiam (orders [Horatia] to help). Answer:
iubet iuvare: "orders" is the main verb, so
it has 3rd person singular ending; "to help" is the
complementary infinitive, as in English, so it must be infinitive.
Horatia is already expressed, Horatiam.
