Ecce fenestra. Literally, ‘look, a window’ but other translations will work equally well that simply indicate the existence of a person or an object.

Ecce Mārcus. There’s Marcus!

Ecce hortus. Look, a garden!

Look at the images below. How, using ecce, would you draw somebody's attention to them?

Note that the words are divided into three groups: any idea why?
