I'm trying to put together nonsense sentences to keep declensions straight; I need a bit more of this than duolingo offers.
So I play with
mustelam puelae magistra reginae dat in schola
for "the teacher gives the girls weasel to the queen in school"
But everyplace I look wants to use "mustela", rather than "mustelam".
Weasel is the direct object, and thus accusative, isn't it?
And do I need a preposition for the queen, or is the dative case sufficient?
thanks
(p.s. don't worry, I'll use drunken parrots when I get to that one!)
