Is here any advanced user who can help? or all are beginners and cannot understand above?

Sorry no one has gotten back with you.

Since this is an AcI, check the case of the subject in the AcI-noun-clause of the answer.

GemitU et ululatU feminarum tectA resonant. (capitals stand for macrons.)

not sure why you want tecta in the abl

Sorry, not understood ACL stands for what? please advice.

5

No. AcI. Accusativus cum infinitivo. It’s a construction used to introduce an indirect statement, like you have in those two sentences. E.g. “I am happy THAT you are awake”; such statements in English are introduced by the word “that”. The subject of the clause goes into the accusative case and the verb into the infinitive.

Got it, so it should be:

Speravit equidem illem in mediis scopulis periisse.

Not sure why you want tecta in abl.?

I meant to say “in houses”. is it right?

7

Illum and we have a deal.

Not sure why you want tecta in abl.?

I meant to say “in houses”. is it right?

Nope. It’s a neuter plural, and the subject of resonant.
