Latin grammar is the foundation of understanding the Latin language. Here are some of the basic elements:
Nouns are the names of people, places, or things.
- Examples: Homo (man), Campus (field), Pater (father)
Verbs express actions, occurrences, or states of being.
- Examples: Amo (I love), Sum (I am), Maneo (I keep)
Adjectives describe or modify nouns.
- Examples: Bonus (good), Malus (bad), Pulcher (beautiful)
Prepositions show the relationship between nouns and other words in a sentence.
- Examples: In (in), Ab (from), Per (through)
