Stage 7 About the Language II: Other kinds of perfects

In Stage 6, we encountered two ways of talking about events that happened in the past.Translate the following sentences, paying close attention to the tense of the verb. Metella in hortō sedēbat. Metella was sitting in the garden.senex ad tabernam ambulāvit. The old man walked to the shop. In the first sentence, sedēbat is in the imperfect tense. We recognize this because of the letter(s) -ba-. The only example we have seen of an irregular verb of this tense is the Latin verb erat, meaning "he was."In the second sentence, ambulāvit is in the perfect tense. We recognize this because of the letter(s) -v-. As we have seen in Stage 7, however, there are multiple patterns for forming the perfect tense. All of the sentences below are written in the present tense. Try to change the underlined verbs to the perfect tense.
