You've got facere in the infinitive there, and it does need a conjugation, but you're doing fine.<br /><br />[quote author=Mansella link=board=3;threadid=271;start=0#1686 date=1058753007]<br /> the harry potter book is on the way to my house (right now via amazon). <br /><br />please help!<br />[/quote]<br /><br />Try this: "Liber 'Harrius Potter' domum iter facit." (Or "domum meam iter facit.")<br /><br />"domus" is a special case word.... When you're saying that something is going to most places, you use "ad" + the accusative of the place to which you're going. Domus is one of the exceptions, and it simply shows up in the accusative without the "ad".<br /><br />Kilmeny
