News of Wheelock's Latin

1) In Wheelock's, I understand the adverb olim to mean 'recently', but also it can mean 'in the future' which seems contradictory. Why is this?

2) I understand the noun pars to mean 'a part' or 'share' of, but why does the text also say 'direction'?

Tibi gratias ago.

I have a question about a translation from Wheelock's workbook, page 65, #2. The english sentence is:

The state will never thank the Greek tyrant.

My translation is: Civitas Graecum tyrannum numquam gratias aget.

My problem is with the phrase "the Greek tyrant". Should this not take the accusative, thus the ..um ending. The answer key says that this should be "Graeco tyranno" which is either the dative or ablative.

Does anyone see something obvious ...

I've been reading about 38 Latin Stories and I'm interested in buying it but I am only at chapter 2 of Wheelock's Latin. What chapter should I be at in Wheelock's before I can start the readings in 38 Latin Stories?

I'm lookin forward to the day when I can read something of substance and even write a little in the Agora. :)

On #6 Practice and Review it brings a word that I can not find the meaning for; manebant. I looked in the dictionary and previous chapters but could not find this word. What page can I find its definition, or, do any of you know what it means. Couls it be a typo for monebant?

"O magni viri" dicit Nisus "si me cum Euryalo ad castra Ruthulorum mittetis non solum multos homines necabimus sed etiam multam praedam ex illus rapiemus somnus enim istos hobet."

1) Wheelock's states that possessive genitives remain unchanged regardless of number, gender, etc. Could someone give me an example?

2) Would 'frater tui' be the best way to write 'your brother'?

Thank you.

So far I've been doing okay with the stories in this book, but I've come to a sentence in this story (The Golden Age Returns) that feels like I've come to a brick wall. I'm just not getting it. Here's the sentence and what I've been able to do with it so far. Thanks in advance for your help!

I translated this sentence:

He will, therefore, thank the queen and the whole people.

As:

Quare, reginae et toti populo gratias aget.

Should I have used 'igitur' in place of 'quare'?
Also, since 'populus' is plura should it read 'totis populis'?

Thank you.
