indicative is often used to denote an action or state begun in the past
but continuing in the present. The English equivalent is the perfect.

hic, is not the pronoun, but an adverb.

2. mihi. This dative may be translated 'for me.' How would 'to me' with a
verb of motion be put?

3. refer. _Dico, duco, facio_, and _fero_ have the imperative forms _dic,
duc, fac_, and _fer_, instead of _dice_, etc.

4. Perseus. When the subordinate and the principal clause of a Latin
sentence have the same subject, this usually stands first, followed by
the subordinate clause.

haec. Here a different rendering is required from that suggested in the
note on 3, 25. What is it? Notice that it is necessary to know the
literal significance of the Latin words, but that the translation must
often be something quite different if it is to be acceptable English. The
rule for translation is: Discover the exact meaning of the original; then
express the same idea correctly and, if you can, elegantly in the
language into which you are translating.

5. continentem. What is the derivation of this word?

venit. Is this present or perfect? How do you know?

8. Graeas. The Graeae were three old women who had one eye and one
tooth in common, and took turns in using them.
