Rule 34: The Direct Object Accusative

Latin, unlike English, uses the endings of nouns to identify the role that a noun is playing in the sentence. The direct object - the noun receiving the action of the verb - is put into the accusative case. This is one of the most basic and important rules in all of Latin, especially for English speakers who don't normally have to worry about cases of nouns. Learn more about the accusative case with this video!

Rule 33: The Dative with Adjectives

The final use of the dative case in the 91 Rules series is when the dative is used after certain adjectives. This video covers which adjectives, and why it really makes sense from the meaning of the adjective itself.

Rule 32: The Double Dative and Dative of Purpose

The double dative is a peculiar beast seen only rarely in the wild. This use involves the dative of purpose (also discussed at length in this video) along with a dative of reference. The translation of the double dative is idiomatic at best, and literal at worst.

Rule 31: The Dative of Separation

Similar to both the ablative of separation and dative of reference is the dative of separation. This use of the dative case comes often with verbs prefixed with ab, dē, or ex, and is used with people.

Rule 30: The Dative of Reference

There are two big uses of the dative case - the dative as the indirect object and the dative of reference. This video looks at the latter, which we most commonly translate with as "for". This use of the dative differs significantly from the indirect object, which you will learn about in this video!

Rule 23: The Genitive with Verbs of Reminding

In contrast to verbs of remembering, verbs of reminding take both the accusative of who is being reminded, along with the genitive of what they are being reminded of. The translation into English flows rather naturally, and this rule shouldn't be too much of a burden (except for neuter pronouns, the one exception).

Rule 29: The Dative of Agent

The gerundive of obligation/passive periphrastic often requires the dative of agent (rather than the ablative) when identifying who must do the action. This dative is related to the dative of possession or reference.
