some translation exercise from BLD “Latin for beginners” AR5
english to latin. are my translation correct?
E1: Wicked slave, who’s your friend?
L1: Male serve, quis est amicus tuus?
E2: Why does he not praise Galba, your master?
L2: Cur Galbam dominum tuum is non parat?
Looks good to me, except I’d leave out the “is” in the 2nd sentence.

Why parat? I am not aware of this word in this sense. Laudo would not be unnatural.
@Dingbats
English way of thinking must be still affecting me
@Deses
I mistake parat for laudo 
Thanks for your help
