Building the Meaning: Reading with Attention to Cases How to read a Latin sentence: identify the case of each noun AS YOU MEET IT to decide what the function of the word will be in the sentence as a whole. As you meet each noun and decide its function, you will form expectations about what is likely to come later to complete the meaning of the sentence. Examples: 1. Servuscurrit. The first word we meet is servus. We know that it is the subject of the verb because we recognize that it is in the nominative case. The verb (currit) then tells us what the slave is “doing.” 2. ServusDavumconspicit. We go from servus (nominative=subject) to Davum and recognize that Davum is the direct object of the verb because we recognize it as accusative case. Davum also tells us that the verb in this sentence is transitive, because Davum is a direct object and direct objects appear only with transitive verbs. The verb tells us what the slave is “doing” to Davus.
3. Davumpuerivexant. The first word we meet is Davum. We recognize it as accusative case. The next word is pueri. We recognize that it is nominative, and therefore it is the boys who are doing something to Davus. The verb vexant tells us what they are doing. 4. Ramumarripit. We recognize Ramum as accusative case, and we know immediately that someone is doing something to a branch. Since there is no noun in the nominative case, the ending of the verb indicates the subject (he/she) and the meaning of the verb completes the sense.

Nuntiumpueri et puella in agrisvicinisconspiciunt. 7. Ubipuerosnuntiussalutat, Cornelia ad villamcurrit. 8. Matrem Cornelia statim petit. 9. “Nuntium,” inquit Cornelia, “pueri in agrisnuncsalutant.” 10. “Necesseest,” respondet Aurelia, “cibumparare.” 11. Cibumancillaeparant. 12. Cornelius, ubiadvenitnuntius, eumsalutat. 13. Epistulam Cornelius legit. 14. Aurelia nuntiumsalutat et “Ecce! Cibumancilla,” inquit, “portat.” 15. Statimadvenitancilla, et cibumportat.
Building the Meaning: Nominative or Accusative Plural? How Do You Decide? In 3rd declension nouns, the ending of both the nominative and accusative plural is –es. When you meet a noun with this ending, you cannot tell from the word itself whether it will be a subject or direct object. TO do so in the sentences below, you must first identify the case of the other noun in each sentence. Note the kind of logic modeled below these sentences: 1. Puericlamoresaudiunt. -Since pueri is in the nominative case and is therefore the subject of the verb, clamores must be in the accusative case and therefore the direct object. 2. Puerosclamoresterrent. -Since pueros is accusative, clamores must be nominative. 3. Princepssenatoresexcipit. -Since princeps is nominative, we assume that senatores will be accusative. This is confirmed by the singular transitive verb excipit. 4. Principemsenatoresexcipiunt. -Since principem is accusative, we assume that senatores will be nominative. This is confirmed by the fact that the verb excipiunt is plural. 5. Clamoresmatresaudiunt. -Where both nouns end in –es and the verb is plural, it is the sense that indicates that clamores is accusative and matres nominative. 6. Magnosclamorespatresaudiunt. 7. Magniclamorespatresterrent. -The endings on the adjectives tell that clamores is accusative in Sentence 6, and nominative in 7.
