Forum:
These are 3 senctences, in which I am checking for dative use. Hence, please confirm:
1. Quid est nomen filiae Latonae?
--Nomen filiae Latonae est Diana.
2. Quid est nomen filio Latonae?
--Nomen filio Latonae Phoebus est.
3. Dantne feminae dona Latonae?
--Ita, feminae dona Latonae dant.
Initially, my comments are these:
Interrogative sentence #1: "nomen" is the accusative singular, and "filiae" is the dative singular leading into the genitive singular "Latonae." Is analysis correct?
Sentence response #1: "Nomen" is accusative singular, and "filiae" is the dative indirect object followed by "Latonae" as genitive singular with Diana as subject. Is my response to the interrogative correct?
Interrogative sentence #2: Same issue.
Sentence response #2: Same issue.
Interrogative sentence #3: "Dantne" takes the dative singular "Latonae."
Sentence response #3: "Dant" takes the dative singular "Latonae." Is this correct?
