Questions & Answers about Soror interdum in oppido habitat.
Why is soror in the nominative case?
Because soror (meaning "sister") is the subject of the verb habitat, and the nominative case is used for the subject of a sentence in Latin.
What does interdum mean and how does it function here?
Interdum means "sometimes." It is an adverb modifying the verb habitat, indicating that the action of living in the town does not happen all the time but only occasionally.
Why is in oppido in the ablative case?
In can take the ablative when describing location (i.e., "in" or "on" somewhere). Oppido is ablative because it follows in to indicate "in the town."
Why does the sentence end with habitat?
Latin word order is quite flexible. However, it is common to place the verb at the end of a sentence. Habitat (from habito, habitare) means "lives" or "dwells," and placing it at the end is a standard Latin convention.
