6. magister (about many things) dicit.
7. sacerdos est (on the first step) templi .
8. Quintus amat ([his] home).
9. Polyphemus (a wave) accedit. (Use fluctus for wave,
and remember that accedo takes, or can take, dative.)
10. (Under the waves) sunt saxa.

12. (The matter [thing]) magna est.
13. dic mihi (about the situation).
