Saepe<\/strong> means “often” in Latin. Now that you know this, try translating this sentence :<\/p>\n

Betul\u0101s saepe nec\u014d<\/strong>. (betula = birch tree)<\/p>\n

The answer is : I often kill birch trees.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at another adverb : semper<\/strong>. Semper<\/strong> = always. Try translating this sentence :<\/p>\n

P\u012br\u0101ta semper pugnat nautam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The answer is : The pirate is always fighting the sailor. We know that “sailor” is the direct object because it ends in -am. Also, p\u012br\u0101ta is in the nominative, which means that it’s the subject of the sentence.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at the one more adverb : numquam<\/strong>. Numquam<\/strong> = never.<\/p>\n

Aquam numquam portant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Answer : They never carry water. We know the direct object ends in -am, but both aquam and numquam end in -am. Since we know that numquam means “never”, we can automatically conclude that this is not the direct object.<\/p>\n

(3) Tub\u0101s tabul\u0101sque numquam numer\u0101tis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
