You need the nominative case there: Patri sunt duo filii et tres filiae.Boban wrote:2) Father has two sons and three daughters.

I think more literal would be to use "sunt" instead of "habes" (and I believe that "esse" when it means "exist" tends to the front of the sentence).3) In school library there are several (many) thousands of books.
