23.05.24: level 2; perfect tense [4]; first conjugation (3)

Find the Latin

I pretended

I tried (to tell)

I wasn’t ill

I woke up (everybody)

I’ve already told enough

you didn’t wash

you recited

The verbs are listed at the end but take a look at the verbs in the sentences first because, even if you’d never seen any of them, you could work out their meanings. Apart from ‘recite’ which is obvious:

In a flight simulator, does the pilot go into the air?

If the chocolate cake looks tempting, what might you do?

What does a narrator do?

If your audience is sleeping why would you try to excite them?

Where might you wash your hands in a restaurant?

There’s only one left: aegroto, aegrotare, aegrotavi [1]: be sick

1. Aegrum simulāvistī.

2. Collum nōn lāvistī.

3. Nōn aegrōtāvistī.

4. Omnēs excitāvī.

5. Sed satis, ut putō, iam nārrāvī.

6. Temptāvī tibi dīcere …

7. Tū heri recitāvistī.
