Interactive Grammar Tables

Everyone loves grammar, whether its in English, French, German, Italian (you get the gist of this ) etc,and especially Latin, grammar can make our lives hell.

So its always great when someone can come up with interactive grammar tables that can test your knowledge and help you to improve your grammar.

They are self-checking exercises that test your knowledge of all the cases of Latin nouns, adjectives and pronouns. Spend some time with our interactive Grammar tables, and you'll learn your grammar so well that you'll never need to come back

Time for a Recap...

So so far there have been 12 posts of which most of them have been just lots of separate sheets, and there were some sections that were missing.
So time for a revision of what we have looked at in terms of grammar.
Brief Latin Grammar has everything about Nouns in all declensions and with their stems, Adjectives of all declensions, comparitives, and Pronouns. SO bumper packed with everthing you need to know AND tables XD

Personal Pronouns Excercise

For now here are the sheets that can keep you busy
3rd Declension
Comparative Adjectives
Comparative Adjectives 2

Declensions

Ok, so since I haven't got any suggestions about the order in which to take things, I will be carrying on in my slightly haphazard way of doing things.
So todays topic is declensions - the inflection of nouns to change the meaning of the whole sentence. As always here are some sheets:
Declensions
1st Declension
2nd Declension
3rd Declension
4th Declension
5th Declension
1st and 2nd Declensions
1st, 2nd and 3rd Declensions
Finally if you want them all:

Cases

Grammar, whatever the language it is necessary, and in Latin especially the sentence won't make sense if you don't know what cases the words are in.
There are 2 sheets on cases (theres so much to say about them) and an excercise sheet as well-
Case Use
Case Use 2
Case Exercise
All 3 sheets (zipped folder)

Participles

Another important part of Latin is the participles, often in English we overlook them but they are essential in being able to read or write Latin.
As always I have a sheet for this, which explains it nearly as well as my teacher...
Participles

Irregular Verbs

OK... SO as with any language there are always irregular verbs just to make life difficult. Latin is no different- and sadly the only way in which you can remeber all of these -you HAVE to LEARN them...
So here is a list of Irregular Verbs
