Alright so on page 19 you have to translate from English to Latin, I made two mistakes but do not essentially know where I made the mistake. I would appreciate an explanation on why it is wrong and the general rule I messed up. Also why the answers I gave were wrong and the others were right.
So the English is:
The girls announce the sailors' wrongs.
I wrote:
Puellae nautarum iniuriae nuntiant.
The correct answer was:
Puellae iniurias nautarum nuntiant.
Secondly the English was:
The sailor is announcing the girls' fight .
I wrote:
Nauta puellae pugnant nuntiat.
The correct answer was:
Nauta puellarum pugnant nuntiat.
Thirdly the English was:
Diana's arrows are killing the wild beasts of the land.
I wrote:
Diana sagittae ferae terrarum necat.
The correct answer was:
Sagittae Dianae feras terrae necat.
Thank you, seeing how I do not want to move forward till I understand this please give me details.
