"Merchants sell fish in the market."

Translation: Mercatores pisces in foro vendunt.

[ArielMedin948128]

I placed in foro before pisces and the system does not like it.

[Justin751801]

Same. I'm not sure if it's the system not accepting different word orders or some arcane syntax rule Duo hasn't told us about, where the location has to come last before the verb or something..

[els976518]

I agree

[FarkasJozs5]

The same with my answer : I can't accept that!

[teaselcardere]

"Mercatores in foro pisces vendunt," I wonder what is wrong with that sentence, since it was marked as incorrect. Others seem to have met the same problem. Perhaps some kind person might explain.

[els976518]

The order is not important. Mine should have been accepted

[Cris366246]

Mercatores in foro pisces vendunt. I insist!!!!

[Marymary789]

My answer is correct

[Szfia4]

In my mother tongue we also have free word order, and in this case it would depend on the context which comes first, in foro or pisces vendunt. Both would be correct.

[KariRishel]

Agree... same problem

[RandallBou]

I'd also appreciate knowing why the above order is marked incorrect
