Endings Are Everything The Cases of Latin Nouns
Nouns are the names of persons places or things.
Uses of a noun: Subject – tells who is doing the action. It usually is found at the beginning of the sentence. Thefarmerloves the girl
Uses of a noun: Predicate nominative – renames the subject. It always follows a linking verb (be am is are was were and been). My father is afarmer.
Uses of a noun: Direct object – follows an action verb and tells whom or what receives the action. The girl loves (whom?) The girl loves thefarmer. The girl loves (what?) The girl loveschocolate.
Uses of a noun: Indirect object – follows a verb of giving, telling, and showing. It tells to whom or for whom something was given, told or shown. If there is an indirect object there must be a direct object. The girl gave thefarmerahorse. (Indirect obj) (Direct obj)
Uses of a noun: Possessive – shows ownership I saw thefarmer’sdaughter.
Uses of a noun: Object of preposition – Follows a preposition. I wentwiththefarmer. (preposition) (object)
Uses of a noun: In English the usage of the noun is determined by its position in the sentence. Example: Thefarmerloves the girl. In this sentence farmer is the subject. The girl loves thefarmer. In this sentence farmer is the direct object. The only difference in the sentences is the position of the nouns.
In Latin, the use of the noun is determined by its ending, not its place in the sentence. There are five cases: • Nominative -subject and predicate nominative • Genitive–possession • Dative-indirect object • Accusative- direct object • Ablative- the preposition
In Latin, the endings indicate the case of the noun. (Endings) Case Singular Plural Nominative a ae Genitive ae arum Dative ae is Accusative am as Ablative a is Example: agricolarum= plural genitive = farmers’ (possessive)
