I am puzzled by the grammar of the sentence Explanation: Pendis is second person singular of the indicative present (you don't give it much weight; pendere is what a scale does) quia is because contigit comes from the verb "contingo" and contigit is the past tense, third person singular. Because it was already attained, you don't attibute much weight to it I would then turn it around as follows: What was attained does not have much weight. regards paola l m |
