This exercise will test your ability to translate the various
uses of the dative case. You will translate fourteen
sentences, and after each one you will be shown a correct
translation. If your account is linked to an instructor’s
account, your translation will be available to your
instructor.
Don’t take the scoring of this exercise too seriously: of
course a computer program can’t do a good job of evaluating a
translation.
