Ch 24 PR 8

The answer key is missing a word...
The sentence is
Cernisne omnia quae tibi scienda sunt?
My translation is
How do you distinguish all who must be known by you?

Benissimus's is
"Do you all the things which should be known by you?

Thanks for your help!

Help for Ch 23 PR 7

The Latin sentence is
"Tolleturne fama huius medici istis versibus novis?"

benissimus translates it
"Is the fame of this doctor being uplifted by those verses?"

I don't see any accounting for the word "novis" in his translation, shouldn't it be "those new verses" ?

Ch 22 PR 4

My question is about
tolletur
I translated it as a present passive indicative, but benissimus' answer key seems to indicate it is a future passive indicative. Can anyone explain why this would be?

Help with White Story 32: Virgil Praises

Will someone please help me with the first couple sentences of "Virgil Praises the Rustic life?" I have a translation but I know it's not right.

Oh excessively lucky farmer, quibus facilem victum divitssima terra volens fundit!
Otium iucundum (for this do I do "leisure is agreeable" or simply "agreeable leisure"?),
agri longe patentes (the farm is long open/has been open long ),
speluncae vivique lacus, mugitusque boum dulcesque sub arbore somni ab eis non ...

Ulysses and the Cyclops

Hi All,

In one of the 38 stories, Ulysses and the Cyclops there is this line:
"Quid vos, tu tuique cari, mihi dabitis?"
I get
"What will you(pl), you(sg) and your(sg) dears, give me?"
Dears?!? Can that be right?
Cheers

How can I see the links in Benissimus' Answers?

I have downloaded the PDF file and found it to be of great help.

However, the links of explanations and discussions marked in the file do not seem to lead to any content.

I am eager to know what the explanations and discussions annotated in the file are!

Can anyone help me?

TIA!

Ch2 Sententia Antiquae Trouble

Forgive the ignorance, it's been a long time since I dug into my latin books. One of the sententia antiquae from Chapter 2 is giving me some trouble.

Fortunam et vitam antiquae patriae saepe laudas sed recusas.

"You often praise the fortunes and way of life of the ancient fatherland, but you reject it."

I think that's the best I can come up with. Am I on the right track with this thinking?

Ch 31 Typo?

Practice and Review #4 of Chapter 31 looks to have a result clause. However, it is written with "ut ne" rather than "ut non". Is this just a typo, as I suspect? Or is there some odd construction I don't know about? I'm pretty sure you can use "ne" in an indirect command, but like I said I'm pretty sure this is a result clause. Moreover, the indirect command isn't introduced until Chapter 36.

Thanks ...
