Thanks for posting

#2 house is singular so it needs a singular aritcle. The ending of oikos also needs work.

Prepositions are fussy. Certain preps. need to be followed by certain cases. ejn is always followed by the dative case.

#5 diav must be followed by an accusative article and accusative noun (adjectives and articles which describe nouns must match the noun). I think you meant blevpete. The thing which you see (the object) must be in the accusative case (not dative).

#8 The "to be" verb (eijmi) doesn't use the accusative case. Use a nominative for the subject and another nominative for the predicate for this verb. You also need to make it plural.

Look at what other students wrote for the rest and ask questions.

We couldn't get the accent and breathing marks on top of the letter they belonged when they were together. They are always right after the letter they should be on.

#11 and 14 need a couple corrections

To get the beathing and accent together to function right do not use shift+number keys. Instead use [ ] \ and shifts of these { }|.

That should fix the problem.

To get the greek working:
1) make sure you have downloaded the font
2) when you want to have your type display in greek click the greek button before you type (it will insert [g] or you can type it yourself)
3) type what your wish to appear in Greek (It will look English as you type)
4) hit the greek button again (or type in /g within the brackets)
5) sumbit your post and view your Greek

Hit the edit button on your last message to see how I fixed it.

Please download the keyboard map to show you which English keys produce which Greek letters.

Now take a look at your sentences and see if you can find some improvements.
Very Happy

Thanks Mr.S. Razz
I was wondering why you used only us "e" instead of "ev" (in) in my Greek sentence translations. Does it have something to do with accents or proclitics?
Thanks.

Good question.

I left your sentence as is. I only put the Greek font tags around your sentence.

I believe you typed ev intead of en. "v" in the in Greek font is an acute accent so that should explain what you see.

Try updateding your sentences with corrections like this. Then I will comment on your grammar. Remember use the font keyboard map to find which Egnlish keys produce which Greek letters.
