Complete the Latin quotations with the verbs listed below.
Notes: All of the
quotations are from a narrow selection of Cicero’s letters to Atticus. This
shows not only the frequency with which cum-clauses are used, gives practice in
how different tense forms in cum-clauses are translated. Literal translations are given in brackets.
