So I decided to create this thread to post sentences that I would like help with from D’Ooge’s book instead of posting a new thread every time I need help with a different sentence. And to start off, I believe I found an error in the answer key. The workbook is asking me to translate the following sentence into Latin:
He is a beautiful animal and has great strength.
My translation:
Animal pulchrum est et vim magnam habet.
The answer key reads:
Pulchrum est animal et vis habet magna.
Wouldn’t the second clause from the answer key translate to:
And great strength has.
The original sentence is on pg. 117 of D’Ooge’s book and the answer is found on pg. 23 of the answer key. It’s sentence 8 of part 2 of section 261.
Thanks Propertius for posting all that information about the page numbers it’s very helpful.
I dont think a long thread with all your questions is going to help other people who come afterwards looking for answers. It’s best I think to open up a post for each sentence or group of sentences.
There is a D’Ooge sub-forum where no-one has posted for a while it might be better to post your next question there.
It has quite a number of errors here and there. I’ll keep them coming since I’m working through it. By the way, at a certain point in the answer key, the answers for Latin to English exercises in the book end. I was considering translating those myself. If I did all that work would you add the answers to the answer key? I, as many others here, loathe Latin to English translation, but I was only going to do it so I can translate the English sentences back to Latin.
P.S. Was my thread moved? I could have sworn I posted it elsewhere. No problem if it was. I’ll post in this forum next time I have a specific question regarding D’Ooge.
