Stage 28 Ablative of Means

So far, we have seen the ablative being used only in prepositional phrases. Another use of the ablative is to indicate MEANS (how something is done). A word in the ablative that is NOT in a prep. phrase is probably the ablative of means. Translate it with the words "by" or "with".

For example:
Marcus Sextum gladiō necat.
Marcus kills Sextus WITH A SWORD
