Question 1

How to form an indirect question

Answer 1

use the question word that started the original direct question as a conjunction, and then put the whole thing into subjunctive, using the sequence of tenses rules

Question 2

Indirect question example 1: “Ubi sunt exploratores?” (Where are the scouts?) As an indirect question, this can become:

Answer 2

1. Caesar rogat ubi exploratores sint. (Caesar asks where the scouts are.) N.B. rogat is present indicative and sint is present subjunctive
2. Caesar rogavit ubi exploratores essent. (Caesar asked where the scouts were.) N.B. rogavit is perfect indicative and essent is imperfect subjunctive

Question 3

How to have a indirect question that entails a yes or no answer:

Answer 3

use num as the conjunction

Question 4

Indirect question entailing a yes/no answer example: Caesar rogat num exploratores insidias fugierint.

Answer 4

Caesar asks whether the scouts escaped the ambush. From what I understand, num produces the “whether” in the English translation.

Question 5

Indirect command example 1: Militibus Caesar imperat ut instruant.

Answer 5

Caesar orders the soldiers to form up. N.B. imperat is present indicative and instruant is present subjunctive

Answer 6

Question 7

Indirect command example 2: Militibus Caesar imperavit ut instruerent.

Answer 7

Question 10

How to ID indirect questions

Answer 10
