Highlights from Wed. 10/12

Remember that although putting the subject first  is the 'default' option, in many sentences the most important thing is the direct object or something in a prepositional phrase. In that instance, the most important thing, whatever it is, will come first, and then the subject: Propter tua vitia filii tui magnas poenas dabunt = Because of your faults your sons will pay large penalties. (The link between Atreus' faults and his sons' problems is the most important part of the sentence.) 

If you have questions or comments about the quiz over chapters 6, please leave them in a comment. Thanks!
