est = is

est is a verb in Latin. Most verbs in Latin end with -t.

ex. Caecilius est pater. = Caecilius is the father.

Add in the and a/an.

There is no Latin word for the or a/an.
You will have to add those words in when necessary while translating.

Latin verbs other than est typically go at the end of the sentence.

For example:

pater = father
in tablino = in the study
scribit = writes.
The father writes in the study.

In English, the subject (the one performing the action) and the verb (the action) go together.

For example:

pater in tablino scribit.

The father writes in the study.

NOT

The father in the study writes.

Phrases that start with "in" are prepositional phrases.

For example:

pater in tablino scribit.

in tablino is the prepositional phrase. It cannot be the subject or the verb.
