Two Acc. words in one sentence

Post by LatinGirly »

I'm translating this sentence.

Septem h?rīs ad eam urbem Vēnimus.

So what I've got is

In seven hours we came to her city.

The problem is that her/ eam is not Genitive it is accusative, and so is city. So how would I translate that?

Salve PuellulaLatina

is ea id = this or that (in particular, for that which has been mentioned earlier, pro quod priùs tactum est) = a pronoun, pronomen est = "that (or this) city"
eum eam id (accusative, casu accusativo)

urbs urbis is feminine (feminini generis est)
