Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 6c6

Latin has an extensive flectional system, which mainly operates by appending endings to a fixed stem. Inflection of nouns and adjectives is called declension, and of verbs, conjugation. There are 5 declensions of nouns, and 4 conjugations for verbs. The 7 noun forms are nominative (used for sujects), genitive (show possesion), dative (indirect objects), accusative (direct objects), ablative(used with some prepositions), vocative(used to address someone), and locative(shows place).
