- Puella poetam laudat means the girl praises the poet.
- Word order alone is not a safe guide to who acts in Latin.
Build the explanation
- Puella is nominative singular and acts as subject; poetam is accusative singular and acts as object. Laudat is third-person singular present.
- Inflection carries grammatical information: first identify the finite verb 限定动词, then its subject and complements.
