For the following questions in English, complete the sentence by adding the missing word in Latin from the dropdown menus: Who protected your faith? [quis] tuam fidem servāvit? Which woman protected your faith? [quae] fēmina tuam fidem servāvit? What was he reading on that day? [quid] illō diē legēbat? What book were you reading on that day? [quem] librum illō diē legēbās? Whose sons have we praised? [cuius] fīliī laudāvimus? To which old men did you write those letters? [quibus] senibus illās litterās scrīpsistis?

Match the declension with their paradigm nouns and genders represented by that declension:

Useful fifth declension nouns As mentioned earlier, the fourth and fifth declensions are relatively less well represented in Latin vocabulary. The following vocabulary entries are, however, very useful: spēs, speī, f. hope, which gives us the English words desperate and despair fidēs, fideī, f. faith, trust, an important term in Roman law and society Note also that when we apply the adjective pūblicus -a -um to rēs, we get the phrase rēs pūblica. This was the standard phrase used by the Romans to refer to their state, which was “the property of the people” or “the common wealth”; of course, in English this becomes Republic, and it is usually translated as such. You will often see this written as a single word in Latin, but remember that, as an adjective-noun phrase, the adjective must still agree, e.g.: We must save the Republic! rempūblicam cōnservāre dēbēmus!
