Subjects and Predicates
The nominative case is also used for something called a PREDICATE NOMINATIVE.
PREDICATE NOMINATIVE is a fancy term for a noun that follows a linking verb.
A linking verb works like an “=“ sign:
is, are, seem…Slide5
Nouns and Adjectives
Remember that nouns and adjectives must agree in GENDER, NUMBER, and CASE.
Adjectives can be declined with 2
nd
declension endings to modify masculine nouns.

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: CAT
The boy feeds the dog.
(Ask: what does the boy feed?)Direct object: DOGSlide8
What we can learn about the Accusative!
The
accusative
case ending is used for
direct objects
.
Direct objects
usually come at the
end
of an English sentence…but in Latin, they’re usually in the middle.
Puellae
equum amant. The girls like the horse.Servus aquam portat
. The slave carries the water.Slide9
