Latin Declension Song

Thank you Sr. Anna Roberta for this amazing teaching tool! And thank you to those who posted it online so that I could learn it and in turn teach it to my Latin students! Now in Latin there are only five declensions All the endings you must memorize and say: "a" is for the NOMIN-A-TIVE. "ae" GENITIVE AND DATIVE "am" ACCUSATIVE. The ABLATIVE long "a". Start with a-ae-ae-am-a.......then ae - arum - is - as - is And repeat the first declension every day: "a" is for the NOMIN-A-TIVE, "ae'' GENITIVE and DATIVE "am" ACCUSATIVE,The ABLATIVE long "a". Now the second one is very very simple: us - i - o - um --o.......i - orum - is - os - is And the neuter starts with bellum - belli - bello - bellum - bello Plural: a- orum - is -a -is. Start with: us-i-o-um-o. Then i - orum - is - os - is. It is masculine. Remember five apiece. And the neuter starts with bellum - belli - bello - bellum - bello Plural a- orum - is –a- is. You will find that when you come to third declension Nouns will end in L and R and S and X. Dux and ducis - ducī - ducem - duce, lūcis - lūcī - lūcem - lūce cōnsul.....imperātor.....mīles.....rēx. Start with: blank - is - ī - em - e. Third declension for today ēs - um - ibus - ēs and ibus. Say it next. Dux and ducis - ducī - ducem - duce, lūcis - lūcī - lūcem - lūce cōnsul.....imperātor.....mīles.....rēx. One, two, three and then we come to Fourth Declension us - ūs - uī - um - and - ū. It's just a ball. Plural: ūs - uum - ibus - ūs (accusative) and ibus. Now we're ready for the fifth and that is all. ēs - ēī - ēī - em - ē, then the plural right away: ēs and ērum - ēbus - ēs - ēbus too. First you SAY IT then you PLAY IT, but be sure you EVERY DAY IT And with all the five declensions you are through.
