semi-disengenious question perhaps for Smythe

Post by Kevin Wooton »

Dear All, particularly Signor Smythe

I could find the answer elsewhere but I'm just being lazy and a pro-active way.

So, B.L. D'Ooge says;

"A noun governed by a preposition must be in the Accusative or Ablative case"

Section 52 Page 23

Does that mean that everything in the Ablative has to be headed by a preposition?

Accusative, no.

Whereupon ...

Dear Smythe,

Thank you for you reply to my previous announcement.

I'm really not a computer person so the normal causal pathway of things stopped when the "contact Smythe" option wouldn't let me.

Anyway, mumble, mumble, grumble, grumble, email is;

kevinwooton@hotmail.co.uk

Look forward to hearing from you,

Yours sincerely,

Kevin
