Grammar Terms Declension: All nouns in Latin are placed into one of five groups which are referred to as declensions. They are grouped in this way based on their pattern of endings. Nouns of the 1st declension all use the same set of endings to code the information we just discussed. Nouns of the 2nd all use a different set, and so on. We start with 1st declension nouns and will only learn 2 of these groups this year.

Would you DECLINE? There is a drill Latin teachers love to have their students perform when working on nouns. This drill is to DECLINE a noun, which means putting all of the possible endings on a noun in a specific order. So, to ‘decline’ a noun: Obtain the ‘base’ (or ‘stem’) Find the base by dropping ‘ae’ from the genitive. What is the base of terra, terrae? terr- Add each case ending to the base, starting with the singular forms and then the plural.

Verbs! in Latin!

What a Latin verb will show you… tense: when (past, present, future…) person: 1st , 2nd , 3rd number: singular or plural verb forms in Latin are typically presented in a chart like this (called a paradigm): Singular Plural 1st I we 2nd you y’all 3rd he/she/it they

What a Latin verb will show you… Latin does not require the use of personal pronouns (I, you, he/she/it, we, y’all, they) Instead, a Latin verb will indicate the personal pronoun to be used with it (i.e. its person and number) by means of ‘personal endings’ which come at the end of a verb Singular Plural 1st -o -mus 2nd -s -tis 3rd -t -nt

Present Infinitive In English the infinitive start with to: to sleep, to eat, to breathe As with the finite verb forms (those that show person & number) Latin indicates an infinitive form by word ending, specifically the letters –re exempla: parāre to prepare vidēre to see ponere to put dormīre to sleep

What is a ‘conjugation’? the ‘conjugation’ of a verb is a term referring to a group of verbs which share the same present stem vowel the present stem vowel is what comes before the –re in the infinitive (the 2nd principal part) what is the stem vowel for habitāre ? habitā – ā

Present Tense 1st Conjugation: Easy as 1, 2, 3 Find the infinitive for the verb laudō, laudāre, laudāvī, laudātus laudāre Remove the –re laudā- Add personal endings laudā+s = spectās: you watch

Paradigm for the 1st Conjugation Present Tense ***exception to formula Singular Plural 1st Person laudō*** laudāmus 2nd Person laudās laudātis 3rd Person laudat laudant

Translate amamus vocas narratis laudant habitat amo vocant narramus laudas habitatis
