Activity 2b Vocabulary Chapter 04

Direct instruction. NOTES: In the first two chapters, which were about two Roman girls, Cornelia and Flavia, most of the nouns and adjectives belong to the FIRST DECLENSION and their grammatical gender is female. A declension is a family of nouns whose endings follow the same pattern.  Here are some examples of first declension nouns:

amīca/amīcae    friend/friends

dēfessa/dēfessae            tired

strēnua/strēnuae            active, energetic

puella, ae            girl (noun, fem.)

altera    another (adjective)

laeta      happy (adjective)

Romana               Roman (adjective)

vīcīna     neighboring (adjective)

villa, ae house, country house (noun)

Note that they end in -a in singular and -ae in the plural when they are subjects of sentences. So too do these words from the mystery song:

stella-stellae - stellam (Direct Object [DO] form)

gemma - gemmae - gemmam (Direct Object [DO] form)

parva - parvae - parvam (DO form)

bella - bellae -- bellam (DO form)

alba - albae - bellam (DO form)

The ending -m is the sign that a noun functions in the sentence as a direct object. Examples from chapter 04: puellam, vocem, Corneliam, puerum.

In chapter 3 of Ecce Romani, all the characters are male.  Most of the nouns and adjectives belong to the SECOND DECLENSION and their grammatical gender is masculine. Here are some examples:

hortus, ī           garden (noun, masc.)

servus, ī           slave (noun, masculine)

puer, puerī       boy  (noun, masculine)

vir, virī                        man (noun, masculine)

alter     another, the other (adjective)

īrātus, a, um    angry  (adjective)

sōlus, a, um     alone (adjective)

Britannicus      British

You notice that second declension nouns and adjectives end in -us or -r when they are singular subjects; and -i when they are plural subjects (pueri).

Note that the accusative singular or direct object case ends in an -m.

Now lets turn back to our mythological sentences.
