Comment from my home-schooler.

I'm intensively working through the translation process with my home-schooled student, and am having her keep a list of problems she runs in to, to help her recognize them and repeat them less often.

At our last lesson, she had a hard time translating ablative absolutes, so we reviewed them, and then finally I asked her a question - what would be the first thing to think of that would help her recognize them, if she ever encountered one again?

"To remember that they exist," she was like (and she wasn't being smart-alecky, she meant it!).
