peer agreement (net): +1Certain friends used to be invited for lunch by Caius Cornelius. Explanation: "...Because of this Aurelia was buying dormice from the Forum. Also a pig was being bought by the slaves..." The English language sometimes does not succeed to show the "nuances" meant by the use of "Imperfectum" and "Plusquamperfectum" tenses in Latin. That is why the translator must decide with the context which past English tense to use. Philologus classicus |
