Yes, or perhaps gaudio is more like a dative of result here, if that term exists.

I've never heard it before, but it's a good name.
Great. thank you to both of you!
Below is the next chapter, as always I'm grateful for any help or hints about mistakes.
Thanks.
General question:
Am I correct in my understanding of Nonne, Num and ne?
Nonne - Interrogative used when one expects a positive answer
Num - Interrogative used when one expects a negative answer
ne - An enclitic added to the verb to create a neutral yes/no question. Neutral in the sense that it doesn't imply a negative or positive answer as Nonne and Num do.
Quoque was introduced as a vocab word in this chapter. My book says it's the same as etiam, just that it comes after the noun.
I guess they didn't want to make it too complicated for the 14 yr olds this book is aimed at. I've tried to differentiate between the two based on what Pacifica mentioned above.
I didn't have time this week to add macrons.

[Normally the possessive pronouns come after the noun. Is vestra here in front of pensa because of emphasis?]
you are right! And now I see that my answer is wrong. I'll edit the post to correct them both.
That's generally correct.
I suppose Dantius is right in assuming the original must have amici rather than amicis. Your sentence doesn't make sense. Expecto takes an accusative object.
Also (still assuming the original is actually amici nos ad statuas expectant), the construction of your sentence isn't at all parallel with the original. You must keep the same sentence structure and change only the grammatical number of words while keeping them in the same person or case, etc. Here for example, expectant is third person plural so you should make it third person singular, not first.
Good.
OK.
OK.
The feminine singular multam doesn't make sense.
OK.
Perhaps this order would be slightly more normal-sounding: Ridetne saepe vester quoque magister?
I admit that the question of what order would be best gave me some thought here.
Magister Latinus is in the wrong case. Also, "Latin" in "Latin teacher" is a noun rather than an adjective ("Latin teacher" = "teacher of (the) Latin (language)" rather than "teacher of Latin origin").
Same problems here as in the previous sentence, plus the phrasing amatisne etiam... doesn't seem optimal for the context. I think I'd say etiamne vos amatis... It feels like the pronoun vos needs to be used because there is a change of subject, or contrast between "us" and "you".
Good.
"In" isn't really the right English preposition to use.
Same here.
Good.
Good.
Well, scribo is present tense. I know it perhaps sounds a little weird, but not more in English than in Latin.
I suspect you haven't learned the future tense yet, so the present tense is sometimes used in somewhat unlikely contexts in your exercises for that reason.
Yes. Possessives can come either after or before the noun, but before usually conveys more emphasis, while after is more neutral (and so happens comparatively more often).
Thank you everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I have been ill for a couple of weeks and need to catch up with my regular studies so I've had to set Latin aside for a bit. If everything goes well, I'll be back at it in the first week of June.
I'm back, but a bit later than I hoped.
Chapter 6
Main grammar points are the dativus possessivus, the ablativus instrumenti and the difference between possum and esse.
I. esse vs. posse
Magister cum discipulis per Romam ambulat. In foro esse discipulis placet. Nunc magister discipulique ante templum pulchrum sunt.
Magister interrogat: "Ubi nunc sumus?
Quis vestrum respondere potest?
--Gai, ubi es?"
--Hic sum, sed respondere non possum!" Deinde magister puellas interrogat: "Claudia et Iulia, certe vos respondere potestis!"
Iulia respondere potest: "Ante templum Vestae deae sumus."
I. translate
The teacher walks through Rome with the students. It pleases the students to be in the forum. Now the teacher and students are in front of a pretty temple.
The teacher asks, "Where are we? Who among you can answer?
--Gaius, where are you?"
"I'm here, but I can't answer!"
Then the teacher asks the girls: "Claudia and Julia, certainly you (pl) can answer!"
Julia can answer: "We are in front of the temple of the goddess Vesta."
II. dativus possessivus
The one I'm not sure of:
7. Romanis saepe magna copia liberorum est. --> Romans often have a large amount of children.
As always, any comments are appreciated.

V - De Aenea
Add the appropriate endings and translate.
De Aenea
Graeci multos annos ad Troiam, oppidum clarum magnificumque, pugnant. Prostremo oppidum expugnant multosque viros necant. Aeneas autem fugere potest. Filium parvum quoque ex oppido portat et deinde cum multis viris et feminis Carthaginem, in oppidum novum et pulchrum, properat. Quod regina, femina pulchra, aeneae placet, hic manere in animo habet. Di autem aliud imperant. Itaque in Italiam properat, ubi diu cum nonullis populis pugnat. Postremo eos superat in Italia manere potest. Nonullis annis post Iulus, filius Aeneae, oppidum novum, Album Longam, aedificat.
About Aenea
The Greeks fight for many years against Troy, the famous and magnificent city. Finally they conquer the city and many men die. Aenaes, however, is able to flee. He also carries a small boy out of the city and then he hurries with many men and women to Carthage, in the new and pretty city. Because the queen, a pretty woman, pleases Aeneas, he plans to stay here. The gods however command otherwise. Therefore, he hurries to Italy, where he fights for a long time with some people. Finally he defeats them and is able to stay in Italy. Some years later, Iulus, Aeneas' son, builds a new town, Alba Longa.
Chapter 7
There is a sentence from the chapter's text that I'm not sure about. The Romans have just invited the Sabines and the men are happy:
Sabini verba nuntiorum magno cum gaudio audiunt et libenter veniunt. Nam ita etiam oppidum novum spectare possunt.
Trans: The Sabines hear the words of the messengers with much pleasure and come willingly. As they can also look at the new town. (It's the second one I'm not too sure of, especially nam.)
Instead of many men die, how about ...(they) kill many men. ?
How about this:
He also carries his* small son out of the city.... *Possessive b/c the English requires it. I realize it's not there grammatically in the original Latin.
understood.
Thank you.
Correct.
