complementary infinitives• Recognize and translate second declension nouns

including neuter nouns and use them in my reading and writing

• Recognize agreement between a first and second declension adjective and its modified nouns

• Recognize and translate present passive indicative verbs for the first and second conjugations

Structural Grammar Objectives

passive verb in my reading and writing– Use the ablative of means to show how the

instrument/means used to complete an action– Recognize and translate the present tense of

possum and use it with a complementary infinitive in my reading and writing

Second Declension Masculine

• What is a declension?• How can you tell the declension?• Second declension masculine nouns end with

“us/’er/ir” on the nominative singular, and “i” on the genitive singular.

• You find the base by removing the “i”• Look through your vocabulary lists for Unit One

and Unit Two and make a list of the 2nd declension nouns. Then write the base for each.

Unit One and Two Second Declension masculine nouns and bases

• Vir, viri vir• Puer, pueri puer• Dominus, domini domin• Servus, servi serv• Deus, dei de• Nuntius, nuntii nunti

Second Declension Masculine Characters

• Gaius, Gaii• Titus, Titi• Marcus, Marci• Sextus, Sexti• Publius, Publii• Lucius, Lucii• Glaucus, Glauci• *Apollodorus, Apollodori Marcus’ new tutor

Using Second Declension Masculine Nouns

• The case rules are the same as they were for first declension. ( Yes, we will be adding new uses with every unit).

• Review your case rules.• However, you will have new endings which can

only be used on second declension nouns

Reading with Second Declension: Write out the translation.

• Marcus est Romanus puer. • Titus est Marci frater et Gaius est Marci pater.• Marcus in peristylio amat currere (to run).• Marcus non iam (no longer) matrem habet sed Marci soror Claudia puerum curat.

• Hodie(today) Apollodorus novus paedagogus (new tutor) Marcum docet (teaches) in villā.

• Marcus fabulas(stories ) deorum et dearum discit (learns).

Translation Grading: It’s not all or nothing

Identifying Cases: Give the case for each second declension noun from the paragraph and the

reason• Marcus• Puer• Marci• Gaius• Peristylio• Marci• Puerum• Paedagogus• Marcum• deorum

Writing with Second Declension: write the Latin for each sentence below.

• 1. Titus is a man.• 2. Titus loves Marcus.• 3. Titus has a slave.• 4. Titus’ slave is Sextus.• 5. In the garden ( hortus, horti m.) Sextus

works.

Subject verb agreement with 2nd declension masculine

• Remember the rule: Singular subjects have singular verbs (t); plural subjects have plural verbs. (nt) For each verb below, choose the correct subject.

• 1. amabulant puer pueri• 2. amat nuntius nuntii• 3. laborant servi servus• 4. laudat dominus domini• 5. habent dei deus

SECOND DECLENSION NEUTER

Recognizing Second Declension Neuter

• Within second declension, there is a special group of neuter nouns.

• Neuter means neither masculine nor feminine.

• These nouns end with “um” on the nominative singular, and “i” on the genitive singular.

• The base is found by removing the “i’

Finding 2nd declension neuter nouns

• Make a list from Unit One and Unit two of the 2nd declension neuter nouns and their bases.

• Atrium, atrii n. Atri• Cubiculum, cubiculi n. Cubicul• Peristylium, peristylii n peristyli• Triclinium, triclinii n. Triclini• Caelum, caeli n. Cael• Vinum, vini n. vin

• Templum, templi n. Templ• Donum, doni n. Don• Sacrificium sacrificii n. Sacrifici• Oleum, olei n. Ole• Bellum, belli n. bell

Case Usage for 2nd declension neuter nouns

• The case uses are the same as for any other noun. Refer to your case summary.

• Yes, you have new endings somewhat because of the NEUTER RULE:– ALL NEUTER NOUNS REPEAT THEIR NOMINATIVE

SINGULAR FOR THEIR ACCUSATIVE SINGULAR AND VOCATIVE SINGULAR.

– ALL NEUTER NOUNS END WITH “A” FOR NOMINATIVE PLURAL, ACCUSATIVE PLURAL, AND VOCATIVE PLURAL.

2nd Declension Neuter• Singular plural

• Nominative um a• Genitive i orum• Dative o is• Accusative um a• Ablative o is• Vocative um a

Making Neuter Nouns

• Complete these charts.• Nom bellum _______ templum ______• Gen belli ______ templi_________• Dat ______ _____ _____ _______• Acc ______ _____ ______ _______• Abl ______ _____ ______ _______• Voc ______ ______ ______ _______

Writing With Neuter Nouns: use the charts and voc list to translate these.

• 1. The gods do not live in temples.• 2. The Romans love wars.• 3. There is a temple on the house.• 4. The god of war is Mars.• 5. We give sacrifices at the temple.

The Problem with Neuter nouns

• Why is it a problem that the nominative and the accusative are the same?

• How can you tell them apart?– Remember singular subjects have singular verbs, and

plural subjects have plural verbs. Therefore, if the neuter noun ends with “a” but the verb ends with “t”, it can’t be the subject/nominative, or if the neuter noun ends with “um” and the verb ends with “nt”, it can’t be the subject/nominative.

– Otherwise you have to try it both ways to see if it makes sense.

Practice with nominative versus accusative neuters

• Read each sentence and tell whether the neuter noun is nominative or accusative.

• 1. Viri bella amant.• 2. Templum Vestae est magnum.• 3. Bellum puellam terret.• 4. Paramus bellum.• 5. Romani templa habent.

Reading with Neuters

• Read the passage below and answer the questions. Quote your text evidence to support your answers.

• For every marked second declension noun (masculine and neuter nouns are marked), tell the case and reason.

2-1-2 ADJECTIVES

Adjective Definition

• An adjective describes a noun and answers the questions:– Which one?– How many?– What kind?

• In English to make an adjective describe a noun, we put it close by in the sentence.– The happy man was smiling.– The pretty girls waved to the handsome men.

Adjective Agreement

• In Latin, an adjective describes or modifies a noun if it agrees in three ways:– Gender masculine, feminine, neuter– Number singular, plural– Case nominative, genitive, dative,

accusative, ablative, vocative

Adjective Vocabulary Listing• In a dictionary or vocabulary list, adjectives are shown in

the three nominative singular forms. The first form is masculine, the second is feminine, and the third is neuter.

• 2-1-2 adjectives will follow one of two patterns– Us, -a, -um– Er, -a, -um

• To find the base, go to the second form and remove the “a”– Laetus, laeta, laetum base = laet– Sacer, sacra, sacrum base - sacr

Masculine Adjective Endings• Singular plural

• Nominative us/er i• Genitive i orum• Dative o is• Accusative um os• Ablative o is• Vocative e i

Feminine Adjective Endings• Singular plural

• Nominative a ae• Genitive ae arum• Dative ae is• Accusative am as• Ablative ā is• Vocative a ae

Neuter Adjective Endings• Singular plural

• Nominative um a• Genitive i orum• Dative o is• Accusative um a• Ablative o is• Vocative um a

Adjective Agreement

• In Latin, an adjective describes or modifies a noun if it agrees in three ways:– ________________________________________– ________________________________________– _________________________________________

PRESENT PASSIVE VERBS

Present Passive Indicative

• With a passive verb, the subject does not perform the verb. Instead the verb happens to the subject or the subject receives the verb.– The gift is given by the gods. Donum datur a deis.– Gift is the subject, but it does not do the giving;

the gods do the giving.– The subject will still use the nominative case

Present Passive Endings• r = I am ---ed mur = we are ---ed• ris = you are –ed mini = you all are ---ed• Tur = he, she, it ntur = they are -----ed• is ---ed

• For the base, use the infinitive minus “re” except for I. – Amo, amare, amavi, amatus base = ama

• For the I form (1st person singular) use the first principal part.– Amor I am loved

Ablative of Agent

• The person who does the passive verb will use the preposition “a, ab” and the ablative case. We call this the ablative of personal agent.

• The gods are loved by the Romans.• Dei amantur a Romanis.

Ablative of means

• If a thing instead of a person does the verb, we do not use a preposition. Instead we just put the noun in the ablative and call this the ablative of means or instrument.

• The gods are loved with sacrifices.• Dei amantur sacrificiis.

Applying Present Passive Verbs

• Read each active sentence below. Then convert it to passive in English, then translate it into Latin.

• 1. Mars bellum amat.– Active ______________________________– Passive ______________________________– Latin passive ___________________________

• 2. Vir deos orat.– Active ______________________________– Passive ______________________________– Latin passive ___________________________

• 3. Servus aram parat.– Active ______________________________– Passive ______________________________– Latin passive ___________________________

• Duas/two; sagittas/arrows; prima/first; aurea/golden; amoris/love; vulnerat/wounds; secunda/Second; plumbea/lead; odium/hatred; metum/fear

COMPLEMENTARY INFINITIVESPossum, active and passive present tense infinitives

Complementary Infinitives

• Some verbs such as possum, paro, debeo, and others have definitions that are incomplete. For a complete action to occur, they need a complementary infinitive.

• The infinitive is the second principal part of the verb which usually ends with “re” and translate as “to verb”– Amo, amare, amavi, amatus amare = to love

Possum

• “possum, posse, potui” is the most commonly used incomplete verb. It is also irregular. Memorize the present tense for this verb and always look for an infinitive in the sentence to complete its meaning.

• Possum I am able possumus we are able• Potes you are able potestis you all are able• Potest he she it is able possunt they are able

Other verbs that frequently use complementary infinitives

• Debeo, debēre, debui, debitus ought, owe• Paro, parare, paravi, paratus prepare• Tempto, temptarem temptavi, temptatus try• Volo, velle, volui want, wish• Nolo, nolle, nolui don’t want• Malo, malle, malui prefer• Cupio, cupere, cupivi, cupitus desire, want• Incipio, incipere, incept, inceptus begin• Necesse est it is necessary• Prohibeo, prohibēre, prohibui, prohibitus prohibit

• Just like verbs, infinitives can be active or passive.• The present active infinitive is the second principal

part and translates as “to verb”– Vocare to call

• The present passive infinitive is formed by changing the final “e” to an “i” and is translated as “to be verbed”– Vocari to be called– Present passive infinitives can also be used as

complementary infinitives.

Pluto’s Theft Causes Seasons

• Pluto est frater Iovis et Neptuni sed non potest habitare in Monte Olympo quod est deus mortuorum sub terrā. Olim *pulchram feminam in agro spectat. Femina est Proserpina, filia Iovis et Ceris. Statim Proserpina amatur a deo mortuorum. Nemo potest spectare Plutonem ubi Prosperpinam capit et sub terrā gerit.

• Prosperspina est *misera. Non potest vidēre matrem. Timet Plutonem. E deo temptat fugere sed non potest exire regnum mortuorum quod spectatur a Cerbero. Pluto Proserpinam amat sed non amatur a Proserpinā. Deus puellam cenare invitat sed non cupit cenare cum Plutone.

• In terrā Ceres filiam potest non invenire. Quod est misera, terram non curat. Populi sunt *frigidi et *invalidi sine cibo. Sacrificia in templis Ceris sed dea non respondet. Hiems ad terram venit primo tempore. Ceres filiam cupit invenire, sed populi terrae auxilium dare non possunt quod Proserpina est sub terrā.

• Denique Iuppiter iubet Cerem curare terram. Ceres est *irata! Dea clamat, “ Minime! Filiam cupio invenire. Qui habet *meam filiam?”

Prosperina sub terrā est, Ceres est misera. Tum est hiems. Proserpina est femina Plutonis et regina mortuorum.

• Marcus est *tacitus diu. Tum rogat, “ Meane mater cibum mortuorum consumit? Potestne revenire ubi aestas revenit?”

• Apollodorus *parvum puerum spectat. “ Tua mater, Marce ,non potest revenire,. Necesse est matri manēre cum Plutone et Proserpinā.”

• *Miser Marcus rogat, “ Amaturne a Plutone et Proserpinā? Curatur a reginā mortuorum? Meam matrem volo vidēre.”

• Apollodorus dicit, “ Placet reginae mortuorum. Es *callidus puer, Marce. Didicisti satis hodie. Volo intrare culinam et consumere *multum cibum. Placetne tibi?”
