Take to the seas, and bring your subjects and direct objects for ballast!
Salvete, nautae! Hi, sailors! Try your hand at translating these sentences. Watch out for word order: in English, the subject comes first; in Latin, the subject is often first, but can be anywhere -- so look at each code carefully. Try your hand at filling in the blanks. If there is already a subject, you know you'll need a direct object code at the end, and vice versa. Remember: to show that a word is the subject of the sentence (the one doing the action), Latin puts the NOMINATIVE code at the end of the word -- -US or -R, -A (OR -UM, if neuter. None of these sentences will use neuter nouns, though). To show that a noun is the direct object of the sentence (the one receiving the action), Latin puts the ACCUSATIVE code at the end of the word -- -UM or -AM. HAVE FUN! Magistra
