Accusative MASCULINE AND FEMININE = Direct Object or Object of some prepositions = Stem + em

Accusative NEUTER = Direct Object or Object of some prepositions = Same as Nominative Singular

Ablative = Object of some prepositions = Stem + e (Stem + i if NEUTER i-stem)

PLURAL CHART

Nominative MASCULINE AND FEMININE = Subject = Stem + ES

Begin today with a review of your vocabulary and grammar. It will take a few weeks to get command of it all, so our first few weeks will be exercises that review this content.

Day 1, Exercise 1: Matching

o you (plural)

s we

t I

mus you (singular)

tis he, she, it

Day 1, Exercise 2: Do a complete synopsis of the verb "regere".

3rd Singular regit regebat reget regat

1st Plural regimus regebamus regemus regamus

2nd Plural regitis regebatis regetis regatis

3rd Plural regunt regebant regent regant

A verb that loves its "i" will keep it, but otherwise it copycats the -ere verbs. It doesn't have to change the "e" to "i" for the present, because it is already an "i." However, it adds the "e" for the past and future, so it can be just like the third conjugation -ere words, but it doesn't lose its "i." It loves its "i." The future possible changes the "e" of the regular to an "a."

c Beginning Latin III - Lesson II d

20

Day 3, Exercise 2: Circle the nominative/subjects, box the genitive/possessives, underline the accusative/direct objects, and dash underline thedatives/indirect objects (objects of for). Put parentheses around prepositions and their objects and label the prepositions with a "p". Also, make sure tounderline the objects of accusative prepositions.

Before doing this exercises let’s go over this in more detail.

Look at your list of prepositions in the vocabulary section. First, put "p" above the prepositions you find in the below sentences. (See my "p" above"through" and "by" in the example sentence.)

Next find the object of the prepositions. It’s the next real word. Make sure you put the parentheses around the whole phrase. See below. I found the object of "through" whichwas "road". I put a set of parentheses around "through the road". I crossed out "the", ofcourse. I did the same things for "by" the "house". ("House" is the object of "by".)

Finally, Iook at the vocabulary list to see if those prepositions took the accusative or the ablative. In my example, I saw that "through" took an accusative object. I saw that "by" tookan ablative object. So, I underlined the object of "through" but not the object of "by".

Did you notice that I underlined the object when it was accusative, but not ablative? Look at the word "road" below. Notice I underlined it with a single underline. I also usesingle underlines for accusative/direct objects.

I use single underlines for accusative/direct objects and accusative/objects of prepositions.

I use a single underline for all accusatives. p p

Example: The man's cat ran (through the road)(by the house).

Here are your sentences:

1. The girl sang a song (for the feast.) Note: parenthesis are optional around "for the feast". - - - - - -

p

2. Sara walked (into a gymnasium).

3. The man is calling the manager.

4. M ark earned money.

5. Sam wants p

Hershey’s candy (from the store).

A verb that loves its "i" will keep it, but otherwise it copycats the -ere verbs. It doesn't haveto change the "e" to "i" for the present, because it is already an "i." However, it adds the "e" for the past and future, so it can be just like the third conjugation -ere words, but it doesn't lose its "i." It loves its "i." The future possible changes the "e" of the regular to an "a."

Begin today with a review of your vocabulary and grammar. Next let's learn a new concept: adjectives.

Adjectives are words that describe nouns to us. They are said to "modify" nouns. So for example in the sentence, "The red apple was eaten.", the "red" would be the descriptive word. It modifies or limited the conversation from all apples to red ones. :-) Adjectives allow for precision in language.

In a Latin sentence the adjective agrees with the word it modifies in "gender, number, and case. "The Latin adjectives we are learning here are declined just like "i-stem" nouns. Except that the masculine andfeminine ablative is "i" rather than "e". It is important to think about this because it means the Latin adjective's ending might not be exactly the same as the Latin noun it is modifying. But they will be the same in gender, number and case.

Here are the first four adjectives:

difficilis/e, difficillis difficult The slash / indicates that there are two nominative forms. The comma indicates setting the first form (the nominative) off from the second form (genitive). When there are two nominative forms as there are for this word: 1) difficilis and 2) difficile, the first is the masculine and feminine form and the second is the neuter form. This is called an adjective with two terminations (or endings).

acer/acris/acre, acris bitter The slash / indicates that there are three nominative forms. The comma indicates setting the first form (the nominative) off from the second form (genitive). When there are three nominative forms as there are for this word: 1) acer, 2) acris and 3) acre, the first is the masculine form, the second is the feminine form and the third is the neuter form. This is called an adjective with three terminations (or endings)

ingens, ingentis huge There is no slash. This is an adjective that has only one termination (ending). That is the ending to use for masculine, feminine or neuter words. The comma sets the first form apart from the second form. You still need to decide gender, though, because the single termination only applies to the first form and second form. This word would use "ingentia" for a neuter plural, and "ingentes" for a masculine or feminine plural.

fortis/e, fortis brave Just like difficiliis/e

M/F Accusative = Direct Object or Object of some prepositions

fortem fortes

N forte fortia

All Ablative = Object of some prepositions forti fortibus

Day 1, Exercise 2: Complete the chart for the noun "pastor, -is".

Gender Case Singular Plural

M/F Nominative = Subject

pastor pastores

N

All Genitive = Possessive pastoris pastorum

All Dative = Indirect Object pastori pastoribus

Day 2, Exercise 1. Match up the masculine endings for "fortis" and "pastor". They are the same in gender, number, and case, but are they the same?

Case Singular Plural

Nominative = Subject fortis pastor fortes pastores

Genitive = Possessive fortis pastoris fortium pastorum

Dative = Indirect Object

forti pastori fortibus pastoribus

Accusative = Direct Object or Object of some

prepositions

fortem pastorem fortes pastores

Ablative = Object of some

prepositions

forti pastore fortibus pastoribus

Day 2, Exercise 2. Put these phrases into Latin (all are singular):

1. Use the accusative case: bitter dog

2. Use the dative case: huge tree

Day 3, Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks.

Feminine nouns usually end in s-o-x

Masculine nouns usually end in -er, -r, or -or

Neuter nouns usually end in l-a-n-c-e-t

A noun is i- stem if it ends in -is or -es in the nominative first form and has

the same number of syllables_ in the first and second form.

A noun is i-stem if it ends in -s or -x in the nominative first form and has a stem that ends in two consonants.A neuter noun is i-stem if it ends in al, ar, or e in the nominative first form.

Day 3, Exercise 2: Translate following these steps:

A. NA gens, flumen, arbor, gentis fluminis vincere NA arboris Caesar, -is

B. gent flumin vinc- arbor Caesar

The tribe's river conquers the tree for Caesar.

C. Gentis flumen vincit arborem Caesari.

Step 1: Please circle the subject, box the possessives and underline the direct objects. Use a dashed line under the indirect object. Cross out the words, "the," "a," or "an." Put parentheses (around prepositional phrases using accusatives or ablatives). Make sure you write "p" above the preposition and underline the object of the preposition once if it is accusative and do nothing if the object is ablative.

Step 2: Write the Latin word you would use on Line A above the word. Remember that there is no Latin word for "of," "for," "the," "a," or "an".

Step 3: Write the stem of the words (which need the stem form) on line B.

Step 4: Add the correct endings to complete the translation on line C.
