Re: Translate English into Latin

Could I use Solus numquam vades or would that be wrong? The order of numquam and solus are different than yours and vades is completely different. I should think that the order is important, or at least one is more correct than another, and obviously with only three words, each word is important!
I expect that yours is correct, but I've noticed that you often recommend a second opinion... What do you think?
Thanks again,
Dennis.

The order of words is less important in Latin. Putting one word rather
than the order first can be used for emphasis (
solus = alone,
numquam =
never).
Vades is the second person singular present of
vado. The definition of
vado is "to go, walk, go hastily, proceed rapidly, rush" (Charlton T. Lewis,
An Elementary Latin Dictionary).
Ambulabis is the second person singular future of
ambulo. Its definition
is "to walk, walk about, take a walk" and "to go, travel, march" (
op. cit.).
Hope this helps.
