Writing About Your Family • Keep the sentences SIMPLE • “My family is…” • “I have…”
Case Endings • If you “have” something, the “something” must be ACCUSATIVE CASE. • Use the endings on your sheet to see how those are spelled:
Case Endings • Words like avia, aviae use –AM/-AS for direct objects. • NOT Aviahabeo • Aviamhabeo (I have a grandmother) • Duasaviashabeo (I have 2 grandmothers)
Case Endings • Words like avus, avi use –UM/-OS for direct objects. • NOT Avushabeo • Avumhabeo (I have a grandfather) • Duosavoshabeo (I have 2 grandfathers)
Case Endings • Words like frater, fratrisuse –EM/-ES for direct objects. • NOT Fraterhabeo • Fratremhabeo (I have a brother) • Duosfratreshabeo (I have 2 brothers) • Be sure you get the correct stem by dropping –is from the genitive.
