Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Using Nominative Case In Latin
Aquitania __________ est.
provincia
provinciarum
provinciam
provinciae
provincias
provincia
The correct answer is provincia. Because of the verb est, which comes from the verb esse, to be, the nominative must be used instead of the accusative in a construction called the predicate nominative.
Example Question #1 : Using Nominative Case In Latin
Please choose the correct answer below
Tiberis et Padus __________ sunt.
maria
flumina
viae
ponti
montes
flumina
Tiberis and Padus are the latin names for the rivers Tiber and Po, respectively. The word for river in Latin is Flumen, the nominative singular is Flumina.
Example Question #1 : Latin Nominative And Vocative Cases
__________, veni in villam!
filii
filie
filī
filies
filius
filī
From the singular imperative veni and the exclamation mark, we know that this is a command, and that it is a singular subject; therefore, the subject is being directly addressed, so we must use the vocative case. The correct vocative for nouns ending in -ius is a simple -i, which is not to be confused with nouns that end in -us which take -e as the vocative ending.
Example Question #2 : Latin Nominative And Vocative Cases
Choose the correct answer from the choices below
__________, veni in villam!
Julio
Julie
Julius
Juli
Julium
Juli
Both the comma after the first word, and the verb in imperative let us know that someone is being addressed directly. In latin, the vocative case is used. For men's names that end in -ius, -i is the marker for the vocative, meaning Juli is the correct answer.
