  20. So, with verbs • When the subject is “he”, “she”, or “it” • This is singular and ends in ‘-t’ (puella sedet, puella ambulat, puella est, ) • When the subject is “they” (more than one “he”, “she”, or “it”) • This is plural and ends in ‘-nt’ (puellae sedent, puellae ambulant, puellae sunt)

  21. DON’T FORGET!! • In the dictionary entry puella, puellae, f. – girl, puellae means “of the girl” • So puellae = of the girl OR puellae = girls • We have to use context clues to figure out which one it is.

  22. Context Clues • Puellae sub arbore sedent • How can we tell puellae means “girls” and not “of the girl?” • Arbor puellae in villa habitat • How can we tell puellae means “of the girl” and not “girls?” • The best way to tell the difference between puellae = of the girl and puellae = girls is to look at the verb.
