Name: 30 - Translation by SCHOOL of LATIN
Duration: 22 min 8 s
Description: This track is an extemporaneous translation of LLPSI: Chapter 30.

Would the more dynamic translation be acceptable on formal exams in place of the more formal version? For example, you translated in Grammatica Latina the perfect future structure entence "Duc militem laudabit (simple future), si fortiter pugnaverit (perfect future)." He will praise the soldier, if he fights bravely --- instead of " if he will have fought bravely"?

Sorry, I hit some button before I finished editing my question; but I think you will understand my question.

This way of translating the future perfect, or in any way for that matter, raises a different issue for me. Since the action is merely potential, is not the question really: "If you were to fight bravely, then I will praise you."? Which in my mind, at this point in my studies, would call for some form of the subjunctive. What am I missing?

Line 2: "dum ille post .... induit ... amici ...adveniunt. I can not get the idea behind the use of "dum" here. It would seem that all that is needed is "post.' But maybe "dum" is temporally related to one of the other two verbs.??
