PERFECT FEAR CLAUSES

Here are the top 3 from your rankings.

1. Mike Weil
Timebant silvam intrare.

2. Kyle Rhoads
Vereor ut eam videam.

3. Hanna Bertoldi
Timeo ne hostes nos occidant.

There were many very creative sentences this time. Congrats to all!

Fear Clauses proper require ne (positive) or ut (negative) + subjunctive following the sequence of tenses. However, since I did not specify clearly, I have also included correctly constructed object infinitive clauses with verbs of fear.

Primary Sequence Fear Clauses
(present subjunctive shows later time, perfect shows earlier time than main verb)

Morgan Burgess
Vereor ne cadam.

Lauren Bejzak
Horatia timet ne non iuveni nubat.

Matt Naiman
timeo ne flava et candida puella me capiat.

Alyssa Walker
timet ne magister irascatur.

Hanna Bertoldi
Timeo ne hostes nos occidant.
Timeo ut veniat.

Kyle Rhoads
Vereor ut eam videam.

Secondary Sequence
(imperfect subjunctive shows later time, pluperfect shows earlier time than main verb)

Anothy Wishard
Ego verebar ne moreretur.
Verebatur ne non discederet.

Eliza Liu
Quintus timebat ne canis cenam raperet.
Caesar verebatur ne mortem obiret. (great use of idiom)

Joe Strawitz
Qunitus timebat ne Scintilla cenam non paravisset. (pluperfect shows earlier time)

Lauren Bejzak
timebatis ne canes insulam regeret. (humorous)

Graham Gibson
Quintus timebat ne veterem amicam puellam in foro videret. (the longest)

Kyle Rhoads
Timebamus ne Quintus uxorem puniret.

Object Infinitive Clauses with Verbs of Fear

(technically the infinitive clause is the verb's direct object)

*Note the subject of the infinitive is the same as main verb's subject.

E Howser
timebamus hostem pugnare*.

Mike Weil
Timebant silvam intrare*.
