# Latin/1st Declension Lesson 3/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_3 - if you can't then just say that you understand that the exercise has come from Wikiversity's Latin course, and this exercise is about using the genitive case to show possession.
   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 using genitive for possession
   * 3 sentences using genitive with prepositions
   * 3 sentences mixing cases or using neither
   Use these sentences from the lesson:
   * Vīlla nautae in Britanniā est. (The sailor's house is in Britain.)
   * Vīlla puellārum magna est. (The girls' house is big.)
   * Culīna Paulae est parva. (Paula's kitchen is small.)
   * Est pecūnia Lūciae! (It is Lucia's money!)
   * Nautae multās terrās Eurōpae vident. (The sailors see many lands of Europe.)
   * Vīllae fēminārum sunt in Asiā. (The women's houses are in Asia.)
   * Fēmina cum aviā Paulae labōrat. (The woman works with Paula's grandmother.)
   * Memoria tua est bona. (Your memory is good.)
   * Parva puella est fīlia Lūciae. (The small girl is Lucia's daughter.)
   * Memoria mea linguae Latinae nōn est bona! (My memory of Latin is not good!)
   Scoring notes: The following do not count as wrong but students should be told of these minor errors:
   * Lack of macrons
   * Single missing letters
   * Sentences which have the same meaning in Latin
   For both directions:
   * Confirm if correct (✓/✗)
   * Explain mistakes
   * Track score/10
   * Keep responses brief
