Chapter 35 Grammar

Question 1

Translate

“I obey him.”

ob + sequor (obsequor) = I obey

Answer 1

Eī obsequor.

Dative is used because “osbequor” is a compound verb.

Question 2

Translate

“Death is similar to sleep.”

Answer 2

Mors est similis somnō.

adjectives usually followed by “to,” “toward,” or “for” in English take a dative in Latin (e.g., similis, fides, amicus, carus, par, dissimilis, etc.)
