Questions & Answers about Eorum discipuli librum in domo legunt.
Why is "eorum" used here instead of another pronoun?
Eorum is the genitive (possessive) form of is, ea, id (“he, she, it”) referring to a plural antecedent, so it means "of them" or "their". Latin uses the genitive case to show possession.
Which word is the subject of the sentence?
The subject is discipuli — it is in the nominative case and means "students".
Why is "librum" in the accusative case?
Librum is the direct object of the verb legunt (“they read”), so it must be in the accusative case.
What does "in domo" express and why is "domo" in the ablative?
In domo indicates location, meaning "in/inside the house". When in is used to denote a location (not motion), Latin takes the ablative case (domo) rather than accusative.
How is "legunt" formed and what does it tell us?
Legunt is the present active indicative, third-person plural of legere (“to read”). It means "they read", referring back to discipuli.
