  1. Dative case Stage 9 grammar goodness 

  2. Cases • Remember that “case” refers to the function of a noun in a sentence. • A noun in the nominative case functions as the subject (i.e. the one doing the action). • A noun in the accusative case functions as the direct object (receiver of the action). • Now we’ll see a new case: the dative case. • Its function: the indirectobject. • This is translated as “to” or “for”. • Metella gave money to Melissa. • Nominative accusative dative

  3. Noun chart • As we saw, we need to add a new row to our noun chart for the dative case:

  4. Practice-translate the following • amicus servo anulum dat. • The friend gives a ring to the slave. • servusamicoanulum dat. • The slave gives a ring to the friend. • MetellaMelissaepecuniam dat. • Metella gives money to Melissa • Metellae Melissa pecuniam dat. • Melissa gives money to Metella.

  5. Personal pronouns • Remember that a pronoun takes the place of a noun. • Instead of saying “The boys” I can say “they,” or instead of saying “Metella” I can say “she.” • Personal pronouns in English include: • I • You • He • Me • We • They • Etc.

  6. Personal pronouns, continued • We’ve learned some of these in Latin, and now we can add the DATIVES! 

  7. Practice: • Egotibipecuniam do. • I give money to you. • Tumihipecuniam das. • You give money to me. • Tume vides. • You see me. • Ego te video. • I see you.
