WelcometoLatin I In each of the chapters in Latin I, there will be a screencast explaining the grammar of the chapter. Chapter 1 begins with NOUNS . . . . .
Nouns in the dictionary~Nominative,  Genitive,  Gender,  Meaning 1st declension insula, insulae, f. island 2nd declension amicus, amici, m., friend 3rd declension mater, matris, f., mother
How do you determinethe DECLENSION of a noun? To determine the declension    of a word is look at the 	GENITIVE                      (the second word in the dictionary). If the second word ends in . . . . -ae  ~ 1st declension -i~ 2nd declension -is ~ 3rd declension
Cases In English, the function of a word in a sentence is determined by WORD ORDER. e.g.  (exempli gratia . . . for example) John loves Mary. Mary loves John. Those two sentences do NOT mean the same thing.  In the first sentence, John is the one who loves because his name is first. Latin does not work that way.  The function of a word in a sentence is determined by the ENDING on the word or, in other words, by the CASE of the noun.
There are FIVE cases in Latin . . .   Nominative – used for subjects Genitive – used to show possession Dative – used for indirect objects Accusative – used for direct objects           		after some prepostions Ablative – used after some prepositions
The Nominative Caseis used forSubjects andPredicate Nominatives In English .  . ..  Lucius is my father. Lucius is the subject. Father is the Predicate Nominative.       A predicate nominate renames the subject.
Forming the Nominative Case To put a noun into any given case, you put the appropriate ENDING on the word.
