in Latin
• What a direct object ‘is’ in a sentence

Remembering
• Label your small paper with 1st name, last

asked in this presentation on the paper to
turn in as ticket out the door.
Answer these questions on your paper:
• What are the 1st declension nominative
endings (both singular and plural)?
• What are adjectives (in English)?
ADJECTIVES
• An adjective is used to ADD information to a
•
•
•
noun. Examples: a long road, a big dog
In Latin, an adjective is used to do the same
thing – ADD information to a noun.
In Latin, the ending of an adjective MUST
agree with the ending of the noun it
modifies in: CASE, NUMBER, and GENDER
(This is the ‘Adjective Rule’. You will need to
remember this information!)
Examples – via dura
puellae bonae
familia magna
silva est bona
Direct Objects
• Direct Objects are________
– Nouns
– Verbs
– Adverbs
• Direct Objects receive ____ ________ __
____ _______.
Accusative Case – Direct Object
• The direct object receives the action of the verb. In
•
English, we know the direct object because of its place
in the sentence (just after the verb). For example,
“Tommy threw the ball”. What did Tommy throw?
In Latin, direct objects are in the Accusative Case,
so the endings would be ___ or ____ for 1st declension
nouns.
Example – The girl likes the farmer. Puella amat agricolam.
The farmer likes the girl. Agricola amat puellam.
Word Order – Does it Matter?
English
The boy likes the dog. The dog likes the boy.
The horse carries the girl. What’s the reverse?
Latin
Puella amat agricolam.
Agricolam amat puella.
The girl likes the farmer.
The _____ likes the ____.
Agricola amat puellam.
Puellam amat agricola.
The ____ likes the ____.
The ____ likes the ____.
