Latin nouns have various endings. The endings are determined by what DECLENSION (noun family) they belong to. There are five declensions. The endings signal the role of the noun in a sentence: subject, possessive, indirect object, direct object and object of a preposition. These roles and their forms are called CASES. There are other roles too, but you don't need to worry about those yet. The dictionary form of a noun appears with the nominative, the genitive and the gender (masculine, feminine, neuter) of the noun. E.g. puella, puellae, f.
Write out the Latin sentences in Exercise 5b, supplying the correct subject or direct object. Then translate the sentence. KEY to this exercise is on the next page of this post. Go over correct answers with students so they can correct any errors in their work. Do this briskly. If students have not finished answering exercise questions they may use the key to fill in what they missed as homework. Blog url: https://newbernhighschoollatin.blogspot.com/
