Answer 2

1 Domini fili utit dare pecuniam

2 Laudabimus , enim (their) famae est magna.

3 Iuvabone aegrae feminam?

4 Nunti,(news) ad nautam nunc

5 Diu, regina non optabat dare regnam ad filiam

6 Orabunt deum magnae sapientiae et laetae vitae

7 Pueri et puella, tacete et vocabo populus fabulam novam

Answer 3

1. How many sons does that master have? And what about the rest of that sentence? Rethink this sentence in these ways:

Son - nominative singular
master's = of the master - genitive singular
used to give - singular verb in imperfect tense
money - accusative singular
to men - dative plural
in front of - use a preposition
the temple - (the case will depend on the preposition you decide on)

Fix this sentence and let me know what you decide on.

Answer 4

Just one but the I thought the I was for the genitive case or it would just be filius?

Answer 5

"Son" won't be in the genitive; only "master's" will needs to be in the genitive. It's the possessive. So yes,

<i>Filius domini...</i>

In English, "used to..." is one way we can
translate the Latin imperfect. Scrap having two words, and just use the correct imperfect form of <i>dare</i> for the main verb in this sentence.

<i>pecuniam</i> is right, but I still don't see the prepositional phrase you need to end that first sentence.
