  1. (Sorry for any mistakes, so far I've only had 1 year of Latin)

    1. Correct

    2. -bimus is 1st/future/plural, so the subject is we and since puellam is accusative, it is the direct object of the sentence. Thus the sentence is "We will love the girl."

    3. Nauta is nominative and is singular, and since the verb is singular (-bat 3rd/imp/singular) the sailor is the subject and since viam is accusative, it is the direct object. Familiis is the indirect object as it's dative. The sentence should be "The sailor had showed the families the way."

    4. Correct

    5. Correct

    Since I'm assuming this is homework, I'll let you look over the rest yourself and you can see if you made any similar mistakes like in numbers 2 and 3 in the others. Even though it may take a while, don't assume things. Check the tense and number of the verbs and make sure it matches up with the direct object (which will be in the accusative case).

    Edit: Well since someone already corrected the rest, I'll just explain the corrections.

    6. The words were right, you just forgot to make villa into accusative.

    7. Words are right, just not the cases. Aqua should be aquam.

    8. Again, insulam.

    9. This time you put 2 verbs in a sentence. Remember in Latin for 1st and 2nd person, the subject and tense is in the verb (3rd has the tense, but only an implied subject if there is no nominative in the sentence or any previous sentences to which the verb would relate to.) Also, case. "Viam aedificamus." is the correct sentence.

    10. Correct


  2. 2. We shall/will love the girl.

    3. The sailor showed the way to the families.

    6. Agricola villam spectabat.

    7. Ego puellae aquam do.

    8. Ad insulam navigabas.

    9. Viam aedificamus.
