Hey all,

I stumbled upon this site today:

which I thought seemed pretty good until I started encountering a few errors. Can you see any?

So far nothing in the Latin has jumped out to me, but I've seen a few incorrect English translations. They strike me as simple lapses in focus.

29. The deliberative subjunctive expresses a rhetorical question: Quid facias? - What am I going to do?

Here's a Latin gender error:
32. The gerund or gerundive can show purpose in two ways:
b. accusative following ad. e.g. veni ad Claudium videndam - came to see Claudius


Overall, a very educational list! It's like a collection of grammatical golden nuggets.

RE Number 1 (dic, duc, fer, fac). Heard this one?

"**** had a Duck with Fur on its back. And that's a Fac'!"

(The Textkit censor wants me to say 'Richard' but that wouldn't rap so well)

Cheers,
