Fоr the fоllоwing phrаses, supply the missing form of the pаrticiple from the drop down menus so the Lаtin phrase corresponds to the English: to/for the people hearing: populō [audienti] about the praising king: dē rēge [laudante] the learning boys (acc.): [discentes] puerōs the warning mother (nom.): māter [monens] of the hand taking (capiō, capere): [capientis] manūs with the leading (dūcō, dūcere) cities: cum [ducentibus] urbibus of the conquering (vincō, vincere) forces: cōpiārum [vincentium] the coming things (nom.): rēs [venientes]
Appоsitiоn Appоsition is а fаirly strаightforward phenomenon. We use it quite intuitively in English: if I were introducing someone, I might say, "This is my friend, Luke"; we would say that "friend" and "Luke" were in apposition with one another, since they are both performing the same, parallel function in the sentence. In Latin they would both be in the predicate nominative position: hic est amīcus meus, Lucius. Similarly, in the phrase, Et Leōnidās, rēx Lacedaemoniōrum, exclamat, the words Leōnidās and rēx are both the subjects of the verb. We most frequently use apposition when we are defining or explaining something. They can be in any case, and words that are in apposition will exhibit the same case, as they are fulfilling the same role in the sentence.
