Im confused about verbs in latin.

Like for instance if the sentence was The girl is running.

Would it be translated:

Puella currit.

Do I not include the is in there? Aka est in latin?

In Latin, the word "est" (or any other form of "esse") is used either as a linking verb or as an auxiliary (helping) verb, just as they are in English.

Puella currit = correct for the translation you want. (The English word "is" is included in that present, 3rd, singular form of the verb.)

Thank you so much!

You're very welcome!

In Latin, the verb "to be" (est) is often omitted when describing a present state or action. So, if you want to translate the sentence "The girl is running," you would simply say "Puella currit." In this case, you don't include the verb "est" in Latin. The subject, "Puella" means "girl," and the verb "currit" means "is running."

To summarize, when translating sentences into Latin, if you want to express someone or something performing an action in the present, you can omit the verb "to be" (est) and just use the subject and the corresponding verb.
