Welcome to the 8th lesson about Latin grammar . We will first learn about prepositions , negation , questions , adverbs , and pronouns including: personal, object and possessive pronouns.
We will start with prepositions . In general, they are used to link words to other words. For example: I speak Latin and English the preposition is [ and ] because it connects both words Latin and English . The following is a list of the most used prepositions in Latin.
The following examples use prepositions in different ways and places to demonstrate how they behave in a sentence.
Now let's learn how to make a negative sentence ( negation ). For example: Saying no , I can't , I don't ... The following examples use negation in different ways and places to demonstrate how they behave in a sentence.
Now let's learn how to ask questions ( interrogative ). Such as: what , why , can you ...? Here are some common examples:
More of the interrogative form, now in a sentence:
It's time to learn the adverbs in Latin. But what is an adverb? In general, adverbs modify verbs and adjectives. For example: You speak fast . The adverb is [ fast ] because it describes the verb and answers the question how do you speak? . Here is a list of the most common ones:
The following examples use the adverbs in different ways and places to demonstrate how it behaves in a sentence.
We're almost done! This time we will learn the pronouns in Latin. In general, a pronoun can be used instead of a noun. For example instead of saying my teacher speaks 3 languages , you can use the pronoun he , and say he speaks 3 languages . Here is a list of the most common ones:
I think it's better to put the above example in a sentence to better assist you. The following examples use pronouns in different ways and places to demonstrate how they behave in a sentence. We will start with the personal pronouns.
The object pronoun is used as a target by a verb, and usually come after that verb. For example: I gave him my book . The object pronoun here is him . Here are more examples:
One more thing you need to know is the demonstrative pronouns . They're very easy to learn.

This page is the Gateway to an online Grammar. The List of Topics to the Left gives you outline of the major headings found in the Grammar. When you click a heading , you will be taken to that page. From there you may follow links that will explore the topic. The links typically will take you to a discussion which is more detailed and precise (e.g., from Latin Cases you may go to a discussion of the various uses of the Ablative Case), or to a discussion of more general principles entailed in the grammatical category (e.g., from Latin Cases you may go to a discussion of what Case is), or to a discussion of how Latin and English compare (e.g., you may go from a description of the Latin Accusative of Place to Which to the single example in English of an Accusative of Place to Which).
The pages found in the Grammar are the same pages that you will link to if you follow any grammatical link on the Catiline or the Wheelock pages. In creating this Grammar I have hoped to accomplish three things: 1) to address the questions modern American students of Latin might have about Grammar (that is, I have not endeavored to be "complete" or to achieve a daunting level of philological diction); 2) to make the exploration of grammatical issues interesting and rewarding; and 3) to get rid of some basic illusions and misconceptions that are prevalent in discussions of Latin (for instance, there is no such thing as the Deliberative Subjunctive -- unless you want to designate a Deliberative Indicative as well).
The Grammar is still under construction and I would appreciate comments from either students or instructors about what is useful, confusing, or in error. You can email me at: batstone.1@osu.edu

Latin is an ancient language that is not in widespread use in any modern population. However, it was used for a long time (and in some cases is still used) as a language of literature, academia, law, medicine, and official documentation, especially within the Roman Catholic Church. Because of this, many people may come across this language often but not know how it works and how to translate it. This section of the Latin tutorial will provide information on the grammar of the Latin language, with a focus on translating parish records written in Latin.
Latin is a highly inflected language. This means that its words change based on how they are used in the sentence. In comparison, English is a language with very few inflections. However, it does have some examples that can help illustrate the concept.
For example, the English pronoun he/she/it. This word has many inflections and changes based on how it is used:
She, He, It, They, Her, Him, Them, Her, His, Its, Their.
As you can see, the word changes based on gender (feminine, masculine, or neutral), number (singular or plural), and its function in the sentence (subject, object, possessive, etc.)
In Latin the nouns, adjectives, and verbs are all inflected. Most Latin words are inflected by changing the ending of the word while keeping the stem (the beginning of the word) the same.
For example: fili ae , fili am , fili arum are all inflections of the Latin word filia (“daughter”). The stem stays the same, but the ending changes.
Some irregular verb inflections in Latin change the whole word, but this is not very common. The most used irregular verb is the Latin verb “to be.” Some of its different forms are sum (“I am”), est (“he/she/it is”), fuit (“he/she/it was”), and fuerunt (“they were”).
You can learn more about the inflections for Latin nouns, adjectives, and verbs on the Latin Nouns , Latin Verbs , and Latin Adjectives pages.
Syntax is the structure of a sentence. For example, simple English syntax usually includes the subject at the beginning of the sentence, then the verb, and at last the direct object of the verb.
Example: I translated the documents.
“I” – the subject is at the beginning
“documents” – the direct object of the verb is at the end
Because Latin is a highly inflected language, the words of Latin sentences show how they are used by their form, instead of just by their position in the sentence. Because of this, Latin syntax may be rearranged.
Here are some examples of Latin sentences with varied syntax and their translations:
Ego baptizavi Jacobum. (“I baptized Jacobus.”)
Ego (“I”) – the subject is at the beginning
baptizavi (“baptized”) – the verb is next
Jacobum (“Jacobus”) – the direct object of the verb is at the end
Fuerunt in matrimonium coniuncti Generius et Maria. (“Were joined in marriage Generius and Maria.”)
Fuerunt…coniuncti (“Were joined”) – the verb is at the beginning
in matrimonium (“in marriage”) – a prepositional phrase is in the middle of the two words that form the verb.
Generius et Maria (“Generius and Maria”) – the subjects are at the end
There is no direct object in this sentence.
The first example above is written in the active voice. The last example is written in the passive voice. Whether a sentence is written in the passive or active voice also changes its syntax. Sentences in the active voice include a subject, active verb, and direct object. Sentences in the passive voice include and subject and a passive verb, with no direct object. They also often include a prepositional phrase a/ab ____ (“by ____”), indicating whom the action was done by.
Ego baptizavi Mariam. (“I baptized Maria.”)
Ego (“I”) – the subject is at the beginning
baptizavi (“baptized”) – the verb is next
Mariam (“Maria”) – the direct object of the verb is at the end
Maria baptizata fuit a me. (“Maria was baptized by me.”)
baptizata fuit (“was baptized”) – the verb is next
a me (“by me”) – a prepositional phrase is at the end
There is no direct object in this sentence.
You can learn more about the active and passive voice on the Latin Verbs page.
The basic structure of the sentence consists of a subject and a verb, as well as a direct object if it is in the active voice. But these basic elements are often padded with prepositional phrases and additional clauses. In Latin records, the most common phrases outside of the basic structure of the sentence express time, place, and other descriptive elements.
For example, here is a more complex version of a sentence listed above:
Maria filia Jacobi die 6 huius nata est et baptizata fuit a me Joanne Baptista Avenio rectore Sanctae Margaritae Jatii .
(Maria, daughter of Jacobus , was born on day 6 of this [month] and was baptized by me, Joannes Baptista Avenius, rector of Saint Margarita of Jatius .)
filia Jacobi (“daughter of Jacobus”) – appositive phrase; an additional noun phrase to describe Maria
die 6 huius (“on day 6 of this [month]”) – prepositional phrase expressing time
Nata est et baptizata fuit (“was born and was baptized”) – two verbs
a me (“by me”) – prepositional phrase; expresses the agent, or the person doing an action
Joanne Baptista Avenio (“Joannes Baptista Avenius”) – appositive; additional noun to describe me
rectore (“rector”) – appositive; another noun describing me
Sanctae Margaritae Jatii (“of Saint Margarita of Jatius”) – phrase expressing location/affiliation
Not included in this example are adjectives. These descriptive words usually appear near the noun they modify. They can either appear before or after the noun: legitima filia or filia legitima , both translated into English as “legitimate daughter.” You can learn more about adjectives on the Latin Adjectives page.

Among Latin’s many verb forms, the supine, caus­es stu­dents quite a lot of con­fu­sion. In this arti­cle, I will explain in detail what the supine is, its mean­ing and how and when it is used.
In Latin there are two types of supine, Supine I and Supine II. The first, end­ing in -um , is used with verbs of motion to express pur­pose, and with the pas­sive infini­tive of ire (iri) to form a pas­sive future infini­tive used in indi­rect speech. The sec­ond supine, end­ing in -u , is quite rare and is only formed from a hand­ful of verbs. It is used with adjec­tives in the neuter that denote ease, dif­fi­cul­ty, plea­sure, dis­plea­sure, moral judg­ments, and the words fas and nefas .
The supine is a very inter­est­ing verb form and there is much to learn about it.
In Latin gram­mar the supine refers to two verb forms, called the first and the sec­ond supines (Supinum I and Supinum II). The supines look like the accusative and abla­tive sin­gu­lar forms of ver­bal nouns of the fourth declen­sion which end in um and u. Indeed, they are said to be forms of old ver­bal nouns.
The first supine, end­ing in -um , is com­mon­ly referred to as an accusative of the end of motion , and is often giv­en as the third prin­ci­pal part in Latin dic­tio­nar­ies (e.g. amo, amavi, ama­tum ).
The sec­ond supine, end­ing in -u , is often con­sid­ered a dative of pur­pose or an abla­tive of respect. It isn’t always easy to say that a form in ‑u is actu­al­ly a sec­ond supine and not the abla­tive of a ver­bal noun of the fourth declension. 
The stem of both supines is the same as that of the per­fect par­tici­ple and it is some­times said that the per­fect par­tici­ple is derived from the supine but this is not accu­rate (Kuh­n­er-Stegmann, 706).
The name supine (from Latin supi­nus) means lying on the back. It is called supine because the supine does not change its form accord­ing to the per­son per­form­ing the action, it is, in that sense, inac­tive, lying down on the ground (Kuhner–Stegmann, 655).
The first supine is used in two ways:
The first supine is con­sid­ered to be an old accusative of direc­tion and is used with verbs indi­cat­ing motion (going, send­ing) to indi­cate pur­pose. It is not used to express pur­pose with oth­er types of verbs. Some com­mon verbs used with the first supine are ire (“go”) , redire (“return”) , venire (“come”) , and mit­tere (“send”). Cicero and Cae­sar use the supine most­ly with only a hand­ful of verbs: venire, ire, mit­tere, con­venire . The pur­pose of the motion (e.g. com­ing or return­ing ) i
