Ch. 35 sentence
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2005 12:21 am
Hello, all.
Ch. 35 S.A., # 11
In urbe nostra mihi contigit doceri quantum iratus Achilles Graecis nocuisset.
I translated, "In our city it fell to my lot to teach how much angry Achilles had injured the Greeks.
Is there any reason that the form "doceri" is used- "to be taught" instead
of the more english sounding "docere?"
Thanks!
