  2. What is a subject? The subject of a sentence, both in English and Latin, is the topic of the sentence. It’s the person, place, thing, or idea of which you are speaking. Ex.: Those girls are my best friends.

  3. In Latin, we use endings on the ends of words to tell us what the word is doing in a sentence. For nouns, these endings are called CASE endings. The case we are going to learn today is called the NOMINATIVE case.

  4. The NOMINATIVE case is used for the subject of a sentence. The word NOMINATIVE comes from the Latin word “nomen”, which means “name”. So, the NOMINATIVE case “names” the subject of the sentence.

  5. If the subject of your sentence in Latin is singular, the ending will be “-a”: Ex.: Puella bona est. Subject Notice that the subject, “puella”, ends in “-a”. This is the nominative case ending.

  6. If the subject of your sentence is plural, your Latin noun will end in “-ae”: Ex.: Puellaesuntbonae. subject Now your subject ends in “-ae”. This is the nominative plural ending in Latin.
