An adjective is a word used to describe a noun. We say that an
adjective
modifies
its noun.In English, an adjective does not change. We say “the good dog” or “the good dogs” but not “the goods dogs.”But in Latin, an adjective changes its ending to agree with
the noun it modifies in GENDER, NUMBER, and CASE.Think GNC!Gender: masculine, feminine, neuter
Number: singular, pluralCase: Nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative.Slide15
In Latin, adjectives usually follow their nouns, but because an adjective must
agree with its noun in GENDER, NUMBER, and CASE, its
position is less important than in English.
magna silva
a large forestmagnae silvae large forests
aquam bonam good water
Remember, the noun is the boss! Whatever gender, number, and case the noun is, the adjective must be also.Slide16
An adjective may be used directly with a noun, as in the previous examples,
or it may be used in the
predicate
, like this:Magna famila est
bona. A large family is good.Magnae
silvae sunt bonae. Large forests are good
.
The vocabulary lists and Latin dictionaries will give you the 3 nominative
forms of Latin adjectives:
masculine
,
feminine
, and
neuter
.
It’s important to learn all 3 of these.

Finding Direct Objects
A direct object follows an ACTION verb (not a linking verb like “is” and “are”).
The
direct object is the noun that receives the action of the verb.The girl pets the cat.(Ask:
what does the girl pet?)Direct object: CATThe boy feeds the dog.(Ask: what does the boy feed?)
Direct object: DOGSlide31
Finding Direct Objects
The choir sang a song.
Subject----choir
Direct object----songThe paramedic drove the ambulance.Subject---paramedicDirect object---ambulance
The girls like the forest.Subject----girlsDirect object----forestSlide32
The Accusative Case
The accusative case is used to indicate the
direct object of a sentence.Remember that the accusative endings of the first declension nouns you’ve learned so far have –am
in the singular and –as in the plural.

ALL THESE SENTENCES MEAN
“THE GIRLS LIKE THE FOREST.”
In Latin, WORD ENDINGS are more important than WORD ORDER.
Sometimes word order does follow certain rules, esp. in longer sentences.
Remember: Endings are everything!!!
What if we took 3 words and just scrambled their order
without changing their endings
?Slide37
Translate the following sentences. “Cornelia” and “Iulia” are
girls’ names.
Cornelia et Iulia
familiam amant.Cornelia et Iulia
familiam parvam amant.
Cornelia et Iulia aquam portant.Cornelia et Iulia
