B.  Dative Case  (Indirect Object)

            1.  Use:  The dative case is used for the indirect object.  The English words "to" or "for" may

                        be used in its translation.  No preposition is used with the dative case in Latin.

                        Ex.  I tell the boy a story.   (OR)    I tell a story to the boy.

                                    Fabulam puero narro.

                        Either way, the Latin word for "boy" is the indirect object.

                        Remember, in the indirect object construction someone receives something as a result

                        of the action of the verb.

            2.  Charts:  Learn the new dative case endings.  Although some words wil look the same in the

                        dative and ablative cases, you will be able to distinguish between them in a sentence.

D.  TO

 

            There are two different ways to express the English preposition "to" in Latin:

 

1.  If there is a motion verb, "to" is expressed by the Latin preposition  ad,  followed by the accusative case.  (run to, walk to, send to, etc.)

 

Ex.       The slave is running to the country house.          Servus ad villam  currit.

 

2.  If the is no motion verb, the object of "to" will the the indirect object (dative case) in Latin.   (say to, give to, explain to, reply to, hand over to, etc.)

 

Ex.       Marcus explained the situation to Sextus.           Marcus Sexto rem explicavit.

E.  Other 3rd Declension Adjectives:  (almost like omnis)

 

            1.  Most 3rd declension adjectives have 2 different nominative singular endings:

 

                        omnis, omnis, omne                                        immobilis, immobilis, immobile

                        brevis, brevis, breve                                      incolumis, incolumis, incolume

 

2.  Some 3rd declension adjectives, however, have only 1 nominative singular ending.  For these adjectives, all three nominative singular forms are identical.  All the other endings are the same as omnis (except for the neuter acc. sing., which is always the same as the neuter nom. sing.).  You must learn the genitive to know what spelling change (if any) there will be.  The nominative and the genitive will be given in the vocabulary list (just as for nouns).
