Location Transport

Can anyone help me with Latin Case Usage?

Please help me identify the cases for the capitalized words because I suck at this. And if you can, please explain why other than it's the direct object or indirect object. 1. The Romans were MASTER BUILDERS. 2. One of their major accomplishments was their road SYSTEM. 3. The Romans built ROADS primarily for defensive purposes. They wanted to move armies quickly and efficiently. 4. The ROADS also gave the ROMANS swift transportation for other purposes by which their lives were improved immensely. (case for each capitalized word.) 5. MILESTONES much like our mile markers today, monitored ... 6. ...monitored the TRAVELER'S progress ... 7. when the traveler arrived in ROME ... 8. Choose the case for the word(s) in all capitals. 9. One can see such SYSTEMS even today. Thank you so much for all your help.

1. 1. Nominative: "were" is an intransitive verb, the master builders refers to the subject: the Romans 2. Nominative: subject of the sentence, same as 1 3. accusative: object of "built" 4. Roads = nominative (subject), the Romans is dative (indirect object) 5. Nominative: subject of monitored 6. Genitive: the traveler is the "owner" of the progress 7. accusative: after "in" describing a location. A bit tricky though, "in" describing a movement (into) gets the ablative. 8. I did 9. accusative (object of see)
2. You know, you learn more DOING your homework than you do when someone else does it for you and you cheat.
