Ablative of Means
 Used to express the means, or instrument,
by which something is done. (How did you
move all that loot? By means of carts!)
 In English, we almost always use the
prepositions by or with to express this, but in
Latin it is shown by putting an ablative case
ending on the noun (the object of the
preposition).
 A Preposition is a word showing the
relationship between 2 nouns.
VERBS – new information in this unit
 The future tense is formed by adding the
tense sign –bi- to the stem. The i is dropped
in the first person singular and becomes –uin the 3rd person plural.
 IMPERATIVE – if something is imperative, it
MUST be done! The imperative form is a
command or direction. Formed by using the
present stem of the verb for the singular.
The plural is formed by adding a –te ending.
The Genitive Case
 The Genitive Case is used to show
possession
 Genitive Endings (singular) are similar to
Nominative Endings (plural) for both
declensions.
