Just started -- Problem with questions
Posted: Wed May 19, 2010 6:17 pm
Hi Im using D'Ooge's and I don't know if I overlooked something or what, but I seem to be having a problem with questions. Well actually the dative, ablative, accusative in general all of a sudden. Now some statements are using the accusative instead of the dative for "to and for" and this question in the book,
Why does Galba's daughter give arms and weapons to the wicked farmer?
I wrote, Cur filia Galbae agricolae malo armam et telam dat?
But the key shows arma et tela. Thats nom.
Here is another:
"Cur Lesbia cum nauta bono a/ex casa properat?" what case is casa? two ablatives?
with nauta bono is ablative here but in this sentence "Agricola malus cum praeda ad vicum properat" is praeda ablative?
and why is it ad vicum instead of vico dative?
Well if you can understand all my babble I applaud you and thank you for your help.
