4. Say with which of the words in each line the given part of is agrees (where there is ambiguity, explain the alternatives):

eî (nom. pl. m. or dat. s. m./f./n.) = nom. pl. m.: virî, patrês;
dat. s. m.: exercitui, puerô;
dat. s. f.: feminae
   
eae (nom. pl. f.) = amîcae, rês
   
ea (nom. s. f. or nom./acc. pl. n.) = nom./acc. pl. n.: imperia, capita;
nom. s. f.: astûtia, virtûs, urbs, manus
   
eius (gen. s. m./f./n.) = operis, puerî, reî, exercitûs
   
eîs (dat./abl. pl. m./f./n.) = signîs, meretrîcibus, virîs, môribus

5. Translate:
[Remember: the abl. of time expresses both a point in time (when?) and a period in time (within or during which period of time?)!]
in eô oppidô = in that town
ob eam virtutem = on account of that virtue

eâs hôrâs = during / for those hours
ad eôs mîlitês = to those soldiers
eam noctem = during / for that night
multôs diês = during / for many days
eô annô = in /during that year
id tempus= during / for that time

7. Replace the English word in these sentences with the appropriate form of hic, ille, or is, and translate:
(a) Hae (these) fêminae pulchrae sunt. = These women are beautiful.
(b) vidêsne illôs (those) mîlitês? = Do you see those soldiers?
(c) satis (of that) eius/illîus bellî est. = It is enough of that war.
(d) Eius/illîus (that man's) caput ingens est. = That man's head is huge.
