I'm translating the following into Latin (using present tense). Does it look OK to you, please?
You have to unlock the door with a key before you can open it. Necesse est ut PORTAM CLĀVE RESERĒS antequam APERIĀS.
Go closer to do that. Ī propius ut id faciās.
You make your bow into a fishing rod, using its string and using its wooden shaft. ARCUM tuum, et līneā et bacillō ligneō ūtendō, in harundinem piscātōriam transformās.
I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.
Thanks, yes. And thanks for the alternative. Ita, me ineptum! Et gratias tibi de alterâ versione.

You need a hook to catch a fish, or something that could serve as a hook, such as a needle.
Ut PISCEM ARRIPIĀS, requīris hāmum vel aliquid quod eīdem hāmī ūsuī prodest ut ACUS [nōn ACUM].

gerases wrote:Noli tam durus in te esse. Flocci est.
Non tam durum continuò hoc admonitum, "Me ineptum!". Nonnè et modò "Silly me!" anglicé.
"Me ineptum!" isn't necessarily so severe, gerases, but as slight as "Silly me!", if you like.
