"The fifth soldier does not have a clock."

Translation: Quintus miles horologium non habet.

[jhawn]

Should this not be "quintus miles" if we are speaking of one soldier?

[ehartz]

FYI: We've already updated "milites" to "miles," but it often takes quite a few days before the update goes through the system and is reflected to users.

[LaurentSalomon]

Optime! Gratiam ago

[LaurentSalomon]

Milites is a plural and does not match with quintus. It should be miles.

[Qermit]

Miles?

[tkdblake93]

Yes, 'milites' should 'miles' if we're taking about only one soldier.

[sigaloenta]

Latin in exercise sentence reads "quintus milites"

[Pain1str]

Does "non" always have to proceed the verb?

[kevinfromdaycare]

Isn't quintus an adjective and should therefore appear after the noun?

[LaurentSalomon]

No. Adjectives are usually before the noun. However, in many cases they can be located after, like the possessive meus, for instance.
