Forms of Latin

Morphology

Latin is an inflected language: words change their endings to show their function. Morphology is the study of those forms, and this section sets out how each part of speech is built, from the simplest patterns to the irregular exceptions. A verb such as amō, amās, amat or a noun such as rosa, rosae, rosam is a family of related forms, and learning the family is the work of this section.

How the forms are used is the subject of Syntax. The complete tables are kept in Resources.
