- "Corinna in urbem venit."

As pronounced in the audio venit with a long e is the perfect tense, so this sentence would mean Corinna has come into the city or Corinna came into the city. For the present tense, the e in venit should be short. This is obviously not clear from the spelling, as both tenses are spelt identically in the third person singular, but in a course intended to teach the language correctly, the correct pronunciation should be used. I have reported this as "The audio does not sound correct."
