It also indicates the <a href="/wiki/Partitive" title="Partitive">partitive</a>, in which the material is quantified: "a group of people"; "a number of gifts": <i>people</i> and <i>gifts</i> would be in the genitive case. Some nouns are genitive with special verbs and adjectives: The cup is full of wine. (<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Poculum plēnum vīnī est.</i></span>) The master of the slave had beaten him. (<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Dominus servī eum verberāverat.</i></span>)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dative_case" title="Dative case">Dative</a> – used when the noun is the indirect object of the sentence, with special verbs, with certain prepositions, and if it is used as agent, reference, or even possessor: The merchant hands the <a href="/wiki/Stola" title="Stola">stola</a> to the woman. (<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Mercātor fēminae stolam trādit.</i></span>)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Accusative_case" title="Accusative case">Accusative</a> – used when the noun is the direct object of the subject, as the object of a preposition demonstrating place to which, and sometimes to indicate a duration of time: The man killed the boy. (<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Vir puerum necāvit.</i></span>)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ablative_case" title="Ablative case">Ablative</a> – used when the noun demonstrates separation or movement from a source, cause, <a href="/wiki/Agent_(grammar)" title="Agent (grammar)">agent</a> or <a href="/wiki/Instrumental_case" title="Instrumental case">instrument</a> or when the noun is used as the object of certain prepositions, and to indicate a specific place in time.; adverbial: You walked with the boy. (<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Cum puerō ambulāvistī.</i></span>)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Vocative_case" title="Vocative case">Vocative</a> – used when the noun is used in a direct address. The vocative form of a noun is often the same as the nominative, with the exception of second-declension nouns ending in <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">-us</i></span>. The <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">-us</i></span> becomes an <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">-e</i></span> in the vocative singular. If it ends in <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">-ius</i></span> (such as <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">fīlius</i></span>), the ending is just <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">-ī</i></span> (<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">filī</i></span>), as distinct from the nominative plural (<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">filiī</i></span>) in the vocative singular: "Master!" shouted the slave.

In the plural of all declensions and the singular of the other declensions, it coincides with the ablative (<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Athēnae</i></span> becomes <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Athēnīs</i></span>, "at Athens"). In the fourth-declension word <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">domus</i></span>, the locative form, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">domī</i></span> ("at home") differs from the standard form of all other cases.</li></ol> <p>Latin lacks both definite and indefinite <a href="/wiki/Article_(grammar)" title="Article (grammar)">articles</a> so <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">puer currit</i></span> can mean either "the boy is running" or "a boy is running". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Adjectives">Adjectives</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Latin&amp;action=edit&amp;section=32" title="Edit section: Adjectives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Latin_declension#Adjectives" title="Latin declension">Latin declension §&#160;Adjectives</a></div> <p>There are two types of regular Latin adjectives: first- and second-declension and third-declension.

The fourth principal part will be the future participle if the verb cannot be made passive. Most modern Latin dictionaries, if they show only one gender, tend to show the masculine; but many older dictionaries instead show the neuter, as it coincides with the supine. The fourth principal part is sometimes omitted for intransitive verbs, but strictly in Latin, they can be made passive if they are used impersonally, and the supine exists for such verbs.</li></ol> <p>The six simple <a href="/wiki/Latin_tenses_(semantics)" title="Latin tenses (semantics)">tenses of Latin</a> are divided into two systems: the present system, which is made up of the present, imperfect and future forms, and the perfect system, which is made up of the perfect, pluperfect and future perfect forms.
