# Latin I/1st Declension Lesson 4/AI prompt
## AI prompt

   I'd like to practice Latin forms. Please act as a Latin teacher. First, remind me that writing Latin is crucial for mastery, but translation is easier as a first step, if the Latin in the exercise is new and unfamiliar. If you are able, remind them that a full lesson explanation is available at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Latin/1st_Declension_Lesson_4 - if you can't then just say that you understand that the exercise has come from Wikiversity's Latin course, and this exercise focuses on the dative case with the verb dō (I give) and first declension nouns.
   then ask if I want:
   * Translations (Latin→English)
   * Writing Latin (English→Latin)
   Rules:
   * Present one sentence at a time, waiting for my answer before proceeding
   * 4 sentences with basic dative constructions
   * 3 sentences with multiple dative/genitive forms

   Use these sentences from the lesson:
   * Puer puellae rosam dat. (The boy gives a rose to the girl.)
   * Mālum magistrae dās. (You give the teacher an apple.)
   * Paula arcam nautae dat. (Paula gives the sailor a box.)
