Translation spot check

Post by lindylars »

Greetings!

I am participating in the Dooge-a study group and have been supplementing my work with exercises from D'ooge's "Elements of Latin". The following come from sections 63 and 64, Lesson V "The Dative Case/Indirect Object/Predicate Noun". The originals are in bold, my responses in italics:

Filiae reginae fabulas puellis agricolarum narrant.
The queen's daughters are telling stories to the farmers' girls.

The girls give the farmers' money to-the-queen.
Puellae reginae pecuniam agricolarum dant.

The girl is-telling the queen's daughter a story.
Puella filiae reginae fabulam narrat.

Any corrections, suggestions or affirmations will be appreciated.

Best,
Ron
