Final Exam: Sample Test

I. Vocabulary.  Vocabulary will be tested exactly as in the midterm and quizzes.  Vocabulary tested will be only from Chapters 7 and 8.  For verbs, include the all four parts of the dictionary form. Since you no longer have the extra credit option for verbs, I will give you an omit / extra credit answer.  I will underline 9 words, have spaces for 8 required answers (your choice of which 8), and you may either omit the 9th word or use it as an extra credit answer.  

II.  Nouns.  Give the gender, number and case of the underlined words. 

et infëlicissimum est fätum fëminärum.  Römänï eäs lacrimantës ä familiïs trahent; sï mïlitës eäs rapere voluerint, id facient.  ductae ad forum urbis novae, miserae ibi stäbunt; omnës praetereuntës eäs spectäre, eäs et tangere* poterunt.  in terrä novä venditae, ad dominös novös missae, fëminae tuae in casïs hostium laböräbunt.

• fatum: the word is neuter; the -um ending indicates that though it could be other things.  In the sentence, the verb is est and the -um ending dominates -- typically sentences with est do not have accusatives.  "the fate is terrible . . " fate is the subject, so nominative.

• familiïs: you might not fecognize the gender unless you remember familia, which looks feminine and is.  It follows ä which makes it the object of a preposition -- ablative.

• mïlitës: soldiers, masculine in this culture! The -es ending could be nominative or accusative; here it is in the subjecct position and makes sense that way, so nominative.

• id: from is, ea, id, this is the neuter singular form.  It could be nominative or accusiative; in the sentence the verb is plural, so read "it they want to, they will do it," so "it" is the direct object.

• urbis: the -is ending without a macron, on a third declension word, is genitive singular.  It makes sense this way.  You just have to remember the feminine gender.

• terrä: the ä with a macron is singular, ablative for first declension words, most of which are feminine.

• dominös: the -ös ending is a dead giveaway: masculline, plural, accusative; just check your chart!

• hostium: the -ium ending, on a third declension word, is genitive plural.  hostium could be any gender but go wiht masculine becaue that is correct for a mixed group or all-male group, which you figure this is.

Römänï terräs alienäs nunc oppugnäbant; iam multa oppida destruxerant.  rëx urbis parvae populö suö dixit, "necesse est fortiter pugnäre.  Römänï saevï sunt.  sï oppidum nostrum vïcerint,  fëminäs ä familiïs trahent.  ductae ad forum urbis novae, miserae ibi stäbunt; in casïs hostium laböräbunt. itaque fortiter pugnäte!
