"The sister studies in the city."

Translation: Soror in urbe studet.

[jaiirapetjan]

"Soror studet in urbe" was not accepted 27.08.2019 - I'm fairly sure it should be an acceptable alternate? Reported...

[Magister_Smith]

I would agree. SOV is not required in the least, and the only thing you NEED to keep together is the prepositional phrase "in urbe."

[CyBear08]

Im hoping down the line it will explain some of the rules for Latin Grammar. Like why is Soror first here but in the matar sentence its in the middle?

[Magister_Smith]

Latin word order is fairly flexible. Latin uses word endings (or inflection) to communicate how a word is functioning, as opposed to word order.

"Soror studet in urbe" was accepted with a typo and with the solution, however, reversed -and, to be honest, I did misspell 'studet' with an 'i'. Accepted but still juxtaposed their way -it's hard to let go sometimes!

[PERCE_NEIGE]

Now, there's an option "My answer shouldn't be accepted". Flag it.

soror urbe studet :(

[PERCE_NEIGE]

It's not possible to remove the preposition here, you need the "in".

The only case where you don't need it, is with a locative. It can't be a locative here.

Why not ad urbe?

[Magister_Smith]

“Ad urbem” means “to the city”.

“In urbe” means “in the city”
