Can somebody please tell me if my translation for the sentence: "It seems that the slave is carrying a letter." is correct?
Videtur servus epistulam portare.
videtur - 3rd person present passive
servus - nominative
epistulam - accusative
portare -present infinitive
Yes; when the nominative servus can be construed as the subject of videtur, (or dicitur, cognoscitur )
The slave seems to be carrying a letter.
The slave is seen to be carrying the letter.
then
'It seems that the slave is carrying the letter.' is Nominative and infinitive.
