Let’s review nouns! • What is a noun? • Person, place, thing, or idea • What is a declension? • Group of nouns with the same endings • How do I know what first declension is? • Look for the noun to end in “a” in nominative singular and “ae” in genitive singular • What does that mean?
How to determine declension • Look at the dictionary entry for the word • The first word is the nominative singular form • What is nominative? • The noun we use for the subject • The second word is the genitive singular • What is genitive? • The noun we use to show possession. • 1st declension: ends in –a (nom) and –ae (gen) • 2nd declension: ends in –us (nom) and –i (gen)
How does declining work? • Take the genitive singular word and take off the genitive ending. • Ex: puellae-ae= puell • Now you have your stem. Put your stem in your chart and add the endings.
What about second declension? • It acts the exact same way with different endings!
2nd declension • Take the genitive singular word and take off the genitive ending. • Ex: carrus-us=carr • Now you have your stem. Put your stem in your chart and add the endings.
