As you go through the Quizizz, have your cheat sheet available for review!

Latin Cases

• How the noun changes depending on its use in a given sentence.

• This is because Latin word order is fluid and can change to emphasize whatever the author thinks is important.

What are the cases?

• Nominative: The subject of the sentence; the actor of the verb.

• Genitive: The 'of' form of the word; shows possession and relation.

• Accusative: The -m form, shows who is receiving the action in the sentence. It can also be used with non SID P. SPACE prepositions.

• In Form (Ablative): The form which follows SID P. SPACE prepositions.

• Vocative: The form which demonstrates who is called.
