    What is the plural ending for the accusative 

    • ā

    • ās

    • ārum

    Correct Answer
    A. ās
    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.

    puellīs
    is
    puellis
    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.

  • 8. 

    Fill this in for ablative singular puell... 

    Correct Answer
    ā
    puellā
    a
    puella
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Vocative singular: puell.... 

    Correct Answer
    a
    puella
    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."

    Fill this in for vocative plural: puell... 

    Correct Answer
    puellae

    The correct answer is "puellae,ae." In Latin, the vocative plural form of "puella" (girl) is "puellae." The addition of "ae" indicates plurality. The vocative case is used when directly addressing someone or something. Therefore, when addressing multiple girls, "puellae,ae" is the appropriate form.
