1. Marcus nesciebat tela fore longa

2. Imperator sapiens arbitrabatur legionem diu oppugnavisse castra hostium

3. Puellae solitae erant putare Marcum eas vocaturum esse quam primum

4. Quos hostes in illo proelio interficerem?

5. Romae non maneam?

6. Volo scire cur ad campum veneritis.

7. Dic mihi quis in senatu hodie loqueretur.

8. Nescimus quando amici nostri adventuri sint.

- Advenio, advenire, adveni, adventus = to arrive

9. Nullum dubium erat quin gens romana esset fortissima.

10. Caesar dubitat quin hostes pacem sperent.

- Pax, pacis, f. = peace

Things to note:

You can have accusative subject + infinitive with words besides verbs of saying/thinking/feeling/hoping, e.g. with nouns such as rumor (rumor est Caesarem periisse There is a rumor that Caesar died)

The deponent verb obliviscor takes the genitive case

The adjective dignus takes the ablative

There is such a thing as a semi-deponent verb, e.g. soleo, solere, solitus sum. Its semi-deponent because only forms using the last principal part will have passive forms (but still be translated actively solita erat = she had been accustomed)

Weve seen quin two or three different times, and you should be aware of their differences

1. Quin can be the that word, introducing a doubting class (non dubito quin..)2. Quin can be a contraction for qui non / quae non / quid non is a clause of characteristic (nullus erat quin...)3. Quin can just be an adverb meaning but in fact, even. You should be least concerned about this third quin. In my experience this third quin is usually the first word in the sentence.

Quin is the most common way to introduce a doubting clause but we can also have it introduced by utrum and/or an (whether...or) I did not doubt whether.. Same goes for indirect questions (He asked me whether...)
