Hello, this is Brian. I made three sentences with three different verb tenses (present, imperfect, and future) describing something I did today, yesterday, and what I will do tomorrow. I have a question about my first sentence. I believe athletica is the direct object of the sentence, so it would have to be in the accusative. However, a preposition is present so this is a conflict. Is my presumption of athletica being a direct object correct? Also, as a thought could "hodie ego participo athleticam" suffice as a translation so a Latin preposition would not be included? I believe this would have the same meaning.
Thanks for the help,
Brian
Hodie ego participo in athletica./Hodie ego participo athleticam.
Today I participate in athletics.
Heri ego vocabam amicam.
Yesterday I called a friend.
Cras ego discam Latinam.
Tomorrow I will study Latin.
