Nomen mihi est _______________________
Date ________________ Block ___________
Blocks 2/4 – work on projects May 1,3,7 – due at end of class May 7th (with automatic extension if
needed until May 9th).
Block 6 – work on projects April 30, May 2, 6 – due at end of class May 6th (with automatic extension if
needed until May 8th).
This project will review declining as well as case usage. You will give examples of declining, you will
provide explanations about how to decline, you will explain the different uses of the 6 cases we have
studied, and you will provide examples along with translations.
Part I – Find one noun from the stories from Stage 19 for each category. Decline each one of these
nouns. The categories are:
1st declension
3rd declension
nd
2 declension
3rd declension neuter
2nd declension neuter
4th declension
5th declension
Part II – Explain how to decline. Be sure to include the following in your explanations:
 what the endings are for each category
 how to decide which endings to use
 how to tell which declension a noun belongs to
 how to find the stem
 any stem changes that occur within the chart
 special characteristics of neuter nouns
Part III – Explain the functions of each case. For nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative you will
need to provide 2 functions with explanations. For vocative and ablative you will only need to provide 1
function with explanation. Be sure to discuss prepositions and which ones require which case.
Part IV – Find 2 examples of each function from the stories in Stage 19. Provide the sentence in Latin,
provide a smooth English translation, underline the relevant noun in both the Latin and English
sentences, and indicate the page number where the example sentence can be found in the book. You
may not use model sentences or sentences from the practice activities. Sentences must come from the
stories in Stage 19.
Example:
Nominative Subject
hic vir est Aristo.
This man is Aristo.
p. 138
You may not use the same sentence twice. So while you could use this same sentence as an example of
a predicate nominative (by underlining Aristo instead), if you did so, you would then not be able to use it
as your example of a subject.
