Chap. 14: Each short Latin sentence has in parentheses an English pronoun or a phrase which can be translated by a Latin pronoun or possessive adjective. Provide the correct Latin pronoun or possessive adjective, using is ea id for the third person demonstrative unless there is a reason to use ille illa illud.

Examples:

pater (you, singular) flores dat. Answer: tibi: this is clearly an indirect object, so dative is necessary.

puer (i.e. he washes up, washes himself) lavat. Answer: se: lavat is reflexive here and requires a reflexive pronoun as direct object; the verb is third person singular, so the third-person reflexive is needed.

Horatia (him) videt. Answer: eum: since "him" can't refer to the subject and refers to someone else, eum would be correct.

Question: castra sunt prope agrum; ab (it, i.e. the castra) milites contendunt.
