Latin Grammar

Latin grammar involves understanding how words change form to convey meaning, including aspects like gender (masculine, feminine, neuter), case (nominative, accusative, genitive, etc.) that shows a word’s role in a sentence, number (singular or plural), and tense (when an action happens). Latin words typically have root components called “stems” and endings that vary to indicate their grammatical function. Recognizing these patterns helps in translating and understanding Latin texts accurately, as the structure frequently provides clues about relationships between words more explicitly than in English.
