UNIT I

NOUNS

     In Latin we decipher the jobs that nouns do in a sentence by attaching different endings to a noun.   Because different nouns have different classes of endings, some wise ancient Roman grammarian divided all Latin nouns into five groups or categories.  In Unit I we sill discuss only those nouns in the First Declension.   Please go to the Powerpoint Presentation to learn more about Latin nouns.
