Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Mood In Latin Verbs
Marce, __________!
veniat
venite
venti
venit
veni
veni
The correct answer is veni. The name Marce is the vocative form of the name Marcus. This, coupled with the exclamation mark, lets us know that this is a command. The correct singular imperative of venire is veni.
Example Question #21 : Sat Subject Test In Latin
Choose the correct answer from the choices below.
Servilia, __________ in villam!
venitur
veni
venerunt
ventum sum
venite
veni
The comma after the name spoken signifies that she is being addressed directly, so the imperative mood is needed. The singular imperative of Venire, to come is "veni."
Example Question #1 : Using Vocative Case In Latin
__________, veni in villam!
filie
filies
filii
filius
filī
filī
From the singular imperative veni and the exclamation mark, we know that this is a command, and that it is a singular subject; therefore, the subject is being directly addressed, so we must use the vocative case. The correct vocative for nouns ending in -ius is a simple -i, which is not to be confused with nouns that end in -us which take -e as the vocative ending.
Example Question #2 : Using Vocative Case In Latin
Choose the correct answer from the choices below
__________, veni in villam!
Juli
Julius
Julium
Julio
Julie
Juli
Both the comma after the first word, and the verb in imperative let us know that someone is being addressed directly. In latin, the vocative case is used. For men's names that end in -ius, -i is the marker for the vocative, meaning Juli is the correct answer.
