Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives

• Their function in the sentence is indicated by
  their case, not by the word order of the
  sentence.
• There are six cases
• Nominative
• Genitive
• Dative
• Accusative
• Ablative
• Vocative

3
Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives

• Besides case, nouns also have gender
• masculine, feminine, or neuter.
• They also have number
• singular or plural.
• So nouns have three important characteristics
• GENDER, NUMBER, and CASE.

4
Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives
Nouns are divided into five groups called
declensions. So far, weve learned the first 3
declensions (and well learn the remaining 2 this
semester) Remember DECLENSION ? GENDER!
5
Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives
We can identify the declension of a noun by
looking at the ending of its genitive
singular. To decline a noun, we add the
appropriate case endings to the nouns stem.

  known as i-stems, which differ from other 3rd
  declensions like this

12
Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives

• There are some rules we have to help us remember
  which 3rd declension nouns are i-stems

• M/F
• nom. sg. ending in is or es, having the same
  number of syllables in the nominative and
  genitive
• nom sg. in s or x w/ base in 2 consonants.
  Most of their nominatives are monosyllabic.
• N
• nom. sg. ending in al, -ar, or e

13
Ablative Uses

• So far weve learned
• w/ a preposition
• means/instrument - NO preposition!
• accompaniment - takes cum
• -manner - takes cum

14
Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives

• Adjectives MUST agree with the nouns they modify
  in GENDER, NUMBER, and CASE!
• Adjectives are grouped, like nouns. So far weve
  learned 1st/2nd declension adjectives.
• Dont be confused by their names, ANY adjective
  can describe ANY noun of ANY declension,
  regardless of declension, as long as they AGREE
  IN GENDER, NUMBER, AND CASE!

15
Adjectives

• Adjectives can be used as substantives.
• Theres a group of special ius adjectives that
  have genitive singular in ius and dative
  singular in i.

16

  nobis

  vobis
• is, ea, id are used as 3rd person pronouns, and
  the genitives were often used for possession

17
Reflexive Pronouns

• Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject, so
  they have no nominative case.
• For 1st and 2nd sg and pl, their forms are the
  same as the personal pronoun
• 3rd person reflexives are the same for sg and pl
• Forms --, sui, sibi, se, se
• Reflexive possessive adjs. are meus, tuus,
  noster, vester, and suus

  known as 3rd io which often act like 4th
  conjugation verbs, but have infinitive in ere.

amo moneo ago capio
audio amas mones agis capis
audis amat monet agit
capit audit amamus monemus agimus
capimus audimus amatis monetis agitis
capitis auditis amant monent
agunt capiunt audiunt
24
Verbs Imperfect

• The imperfect tense is used for continuous or
  repetitive actions in the past.
• To form the imperfect, stick the infix ba in
  between the present stem and the personal
  endings.
• Ex laudabam, laudabas, laudabat, etc
• 3rd io and 4th conj. verbs have an e between
  the i and the personal endings (capiebam,
  audiebam, etc)

25
Verbs Future

  infix bi

  future tense is the vowel e (a in 1st sg)
• Ex agam, ages, aget, etc

s, the t also turns into an s.
