Latin II students:
If you have begun your homework, you know by now that you have taken a step up in terms of translation. Look at ex. 268, sentence 5. Omnia, the first word, refers to everything or all things; it is in the neuter plural because the Romans used this word to refer to "All things," with things understood. The second word, quae, refers to omnia; it is neuter plural because of omnia and is nominative because it is the subject of its clause. The main verb is in present passive.
ALWAYS read the complete sentence before beginning your translation. If the translation is not apparent to you, read it several times.
