This lesson contains 2 nouns, 2 verbs, 1 preposition, 1 phrase and 1 pronoun.
Quī, quae, quod connects a description to the person or thing being described. Track that connection first, then find the pronoun's job inside its own clause; the antecedent does not automatically give it a case. Angustiae is another reminder to read the full entry: the plural can describe a narrow place or difficulties, not simply several narrow things. Committō gains a particular meaning in the listed phrase proelium committere, while inquit marks speech with a restricted verb form. Challenge II week 12 compares relative and purpose clauses and discusses the historical setting of translated passages. Before advancing, locate an antecedent without borrowing its case, recognise the battle expression as a unit, and use the surrounding event to decide whether angustiae describes terrain or a predicament. That last choice can change the picture of a whole passage.
Forms in this lesson: 1st-declension nouns (1), prepositions taking the accusative (1), 3rd-conjugation verbs (1), 2nd-declension nouns (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge II, week 12.
Read the setting. A description of terrain may be physical; an account of someone's predicament may be figurative. Both senses are listed.
No. Gender and number connect it to the antecedent; its own role in the relative clause determines case.
