Hi everyone,
I had to translate this sentence into Latin:
"The tempest was so great that the ships were destroyed"
I would translate the result clause with a subjunctive, "tanta erat tempestas ut naves deletae sint". However, the translation provided in the book answers has an indicative "tanta erat tempestas ut naves deletae sunt".
Are they both correct? If yes, is there a difference in meaning?
