"Students read the chapters."

Translation: Discipulae lectiones legunt.

[Thkgk]

lectio, lectionis: means "choosing, lecture" A correct and better tanslation for chapter is capitulum, capituli = chapter/article (in book)

[SineNmine]

I am agree with your argument

[Marvin291909]

Discipuli lectiones legunt. ---why not?

[Karatefan]

It is correct, just report it. :)

[PauloChen2]

Apparently, someone took Karatefan's advice and reported, since Duolingo just accepted "Discipuli lectiones legunt." (26 April 2020)

[flaviapatrr]

i thought it was that

[Theo639847]

how do we know before that male or female students are meant?

[JackoBong]

Why not "lectionem"?

[wallyton]

Because it's plural I guess.

[Leon_McNair]

I said, "Discipuli lectionum legit", I had to write it in. I understand that I was wrong, but I'm struggling where the -es comes from in "lectiones"? I cannot find it anywhere in the 1st and 2nd declensions.

Why is Discipuli wrong in favour of Discipulae? In English it only said, "Students...". Shouldn't it accept both?

I realise for read I put in the 3rd conjugation singular 3rd person -it instead of its plural -unt.

This is getting confusing and I'm not sure I'm understanding it at all...

Your mistake is not Discipuli (Nom Pl m.), but lectionum (Gen. Pl. f= of the chapters) . Correct is: lection-es (Nom +Acc, Pl. f.=the chapters.) lēctiō lēctiōnis, f (Subst., kons. Dekl., I'm not sure, I think it is the 3rd declension) lectio, lēctiōn-is, -i, -em, -e; (Pl:) lection-es, -um, -ibus, -es, -ibus
