Write out each sentence, choosing the noun that correctly completes the sentence. Translate each sentence.
(Dominus, Dominum) dormit
Dominus dormit. (The master is sleeping.)
Dominus dormit. (The master is sleeping.)
Translation: The master is sleeping.
To identify the correct noun to complete the sentence and translate it, we need to understand the context and the grammatical structure of the sentence.
In this sentence, we have two options for the noun: "dominus" and "dominum." To determine the correct choice, we need to consider the subject and the verb.
The verb used in the sentence is "dormit," which means "he sleeps." So, we can infer that the subject of the sentence is a masculine singular noun.
Now, let's analyze the two choices:
1. "Dominus" is a masculine singular noun meaning "master" or "lord."
2. "Dominum" is the accusative form of "dominus."
Since the subject of the sentence is performing the action (sleeping), we need to use the nominative form of the noun. Therefore, the correct choice to complete the sentence is "dominus."
Now, let's translate the sentence:
"Dominus dormit" translates to "The master sleeps."
