2. What is the plural ending for the accusative 

Explanation

The plural ending for the accusative case is "ās". This ending is used when referring to multiple objects or people in the accusative case. In Latin grammar, the accusative case is used to indicate the direct object of a verb or the object of certain prepositions. So, when using the accusative case in the plural form, the ending "ās" is added to the noun.

3. Fill in the nominative plural ending puell... 

Explanation

The correct answer is "puellae,ae". In Latin, the nominative plural ending for the noun "puella" (meaning "girl") is "-ae". Therefore, to form the nominative plural, we add "-ae" to the base word "puell".

4. Fill this in for Dative singular: puell.... 

Explanation

The correct answer is "ae,puellae". In Latin, the dative singular form of "puella" (girl) is "puellae". The ending "-ae" indicates that the noun is in the dative case and refers to a singular girl.

Explanation

The given correct answer "ae" is the genitive singular ending. In Latin grammar, the genitive case is used to indicate possession or relationship and is typically formed by adding the appropriate ending to the noun. In this case, "ae" is the genitive singular ending for feminine nouns.

6. Accusative singular ending

7. Fill in the dative plural: puell...

Explanation

The correct answer is "puellīs". In Latin, the dative case is used to indicate the indirect object or the recipient of an action. In this case, the word "puellīs" is the correct dative plural form of the noun "puella" (girl). The other options do not match the correct dative plural form.

Submit
8. Fill this in for ablative singular puell... 

Explanation

The question is asking for the ablative singular form of the word "puell". The correct answers are "ā" and "puellā". In Latin, the ablative case is used to indicate various meanings such as location, manner, or means. In this case, "ā" and "puellā" both represent the ablative singular form of "puella", meaning "from" or "by the girl". The answer "a" is incorrect as it does not match the correct form of the word.

Submit
9. Vocative singular: puell.... 

Explanation

The given correct answer is "a, puella." In Latin, the vocative case is used when directly addressing someone or something. In this case, the word "puell" is incomplete and needs to be completed with the appropriate ending for the vocative singular form. The correct ending for the vocative singular of "puella" is "-a." Therefore, the correct answer is "a, puella," which means "O girl" or "girl."

Submit
