First and Second Declensions
The first page introduces the primera declinación latín and 2 declinación latín, which are fundamental to Latin grammar.
First Declension
The first declension primarily consists of feminine nouns ending in -a. It follows a specific pattern for singular and plural forms across different cases.
Example: The word "bella" (war) is declined in the singular as: bella (nominative), bella (vocative), bellam (accusative), bellae (genitive), bellae (dative), bella (ablative).
Second Declension
The second declension includes masculine nouns ending in -us or -er, and neuter nouns ending in -um.
Example: The word "bellum" (war) is declined in the neuter form as: bellum (nominative/vocative/accusative), belli (genitive), bello (dative/ablative).
Adjectives
The page also covers first-class adjectives, which follow the first and second declension patterns.
Example: The adjective "bonus" (good) is declined in masculine, feminine, and neuter forms, such as bonus, bona, bonum (nominative singular).
Highlight: Understanding the patterns of the first two declensions is crucial for mastering Latin grammar, as they form the basis for many common words and expressions.
