### Translation Notes Examples
|
|
|
|
Simple explanations about words or phrases are written as full sentences. They begin with a capital letter and end with a period (".").
|
|
>The fishermen had gotten out of them and were <u>washing their nets</u>.(Luke 5:2 ULB)
|
|
|
|
* **washing their nets** - They were cleaning their fishing nets in order to use them again to catch fish.
|
|
|
|
If you did not know that fishermen used nets to catch fish, you might wonder why the fishermen were cleaning their nets. This explanation can help you choose good words for "were washing" and "nets."
|
|
|
|
>So they <u>motioned</u> to their partners in the other boat ... (Luke 5:7 ULB)
|
|
|
|
* **motioned** - They were too far from shore to call so they made gestures, probably waving their arms.
|
|
|
|
This note can help you understand what kind of motion the people made. It was a motion that people would be able to see from a distance. This will help you choose a good word or phrase for "motioned."
