Hi again! 😂

For #35 and 36 of this worksheet, I translated it as “Sheep must be guarded by good shepherds” while Mr. Thomas translated it with ‘bene’ describing the verb guarded: “Sheep must be guarded well by the shepherds”. I don’t which one is right because I can’t tell whether bene is meant to describe the verb ‘guard’ or the noun ‘shepherds’.

Thank you 🙂

Also I said that wrong, that example is sentence #35 and for #36 I translated it as if bene was describing the shepherds once again, not the verb pugnandi sunt

Hi again, Shiloh!

Bene describes the verb because it is an adverb, so Mr. Thomas’s translation is correct. An adverb modifies a verb, participle, or another adverb. (See Lesson 52.)

Your translation would look something like this in Latin: Oves pastori bono custodiendae sunt., where bono is the ablative adjective modifying the noun pastori.

Hope this helps.

Ohhhhh right that makes sense, I couldn’t remember what the difference in the endings would be. Thanks!
