Latin Nouns

Nominative Nouns = subject that does the verb
1. e.g. ELLA ran the race: Who ran the race? Ella did so Ella is the subject/nominative noun
Accusative Noun = object to which the verb is done
1. e.g. ELLA ran the race. What did Ella run? She ran THE RACE - ie the race is the object/accusative noun
