Rogare (Verb): to ask
In both English and Latin,
sentences can either ask questions
or simply make statements.
Sentences that ask
questions are called
interrogative
sentences.
Notice that the verb is moved to the
beginning of the sentence when the –ne
is used to indicate a question. Although
this was typical, it is not necessary. In a
question, the verb often brought to the
beginning from the usual end.
Nonne puella ambulat ad scholam?
Num nautae navigant ad insulam?
Vocatne regina reges?
Ambulatne ad casam?
Esne meus (my) frater?
Estne meus pater in casam?
