Hi,
I am fourteen-years old and have been studying Latin for the past year. My grammar is decent, but I am really struggling with declensions. I have a basic idea of the Nominative-Vocative-Accusative-Genitive-Dative-Ablative system (I remember it as
Notable Vegans Ate Good, Delicious Aardvarks) and what each one means but still have difficulty declining nouns. For example, which of the five declensions would I use to decline the name ‘Phaedra’?
Would I be correct declining it in the first declension like this:
Sing.: Phaedra, Phaedra, Phaedram, Phaedrae, Phaedrae, Phaedra
Pl.: Phaedrae, Phaedrae, Phaedras, Phaedarum, Phaedris, Phaedris
Up until now I have been teaching myself Latin and have no idea if my grammar is correct. I will start a university course at the end of the month and want to brush-up beforehand. If anyone could help me a bit in this field, I would greatly appreciate it.
