Hang in there. I'm going to look at it some more today and tomorrow. We'll figure it out.

What song do you think this sounds like? It sounds like the Red River Valley.

Think I have the first two answers worked out. During the first two lessons they've let us put the subject noun before the verb, and the object noun after the verb, since it would be easier for us to learn.
But it can be either way in Esperanto. Apparently for this lesson they want us to be able to swap the syntax back and forth :
1. Mian fraton lavis mia patrino. (object noun) (subject noun)
My mother washes my brother. (subject noun) (object noun) 2. Instuistinojn viajn fratinoj niaj vidis. (object noun) (sub. n)
Our sisters saw your teachers. (subject n.) (object. n)

I think I'm finished The first one were kind of easy. I think it was from 8 on that were worse. Do you put the object "-n" on words that don't end in "o"? What if the object isn't the last word in the sentance do we still mark it with an "-n" or "-jn"?

Would it be cheating if I sent you my answers in a PM to go over?

I think I'm finished The first ones were kind of easy. I'm wondering if they want you to rearrange the syntax like with the first two. I think it was from 8 on that were worse. Do you put the object "-n" on words that don't end in "o"? Yes you'll need an "n" for words ending in "a" (an and ajn for adjectives) What if the object isn't the last word in the sentance do we still mark it with an "-n" or "-jn"? Yes, object nouns are still marked with an "n" no matter where in the sentence they appear.
