So far we have learnt that the ENDING of NOUNS is different when they are the object of the action (ACCUSATIVE) from when they are the subject of the action (NOMINATIVE)

• For example, in the sentence: Metella ancillam salutat

• ​Metella is the subject and ancillam (slave-girl) is the object

In Stage 3, you will learn that the NOUNS in Latin belong to different groups called DECLENSIONS

• We will only see the first 3 declensions at the moment
