Highlights from Wed. 9/21



English to Latin sentences are an opportunity to look at how a Latin sentence is constructed. Word order is not significant, as long as clauses (parts of the sentence separated by commas or other punctuation in English) are kept together. Think about such things as: if an adjective in the sentence is describing something, does its ending match that of the word it is describing? If the subject is plural, do you have a plural form for the noun? Do you have an accusative (direct object) ending on whatever item the verb is most concerned with, the thing that is being given or being seen or being helped ?
