We will take a break from our review of the ablative case to look a bit more closely at comparisons. We previously had learned about how the ablative case can be used to show comparison, but quam, meaning "than", is much more common and useful in this regard. This video covers all the uses of quam with the comparative, and is meant to be paired with rule number 45, on the ablative of comparison.

We begin our review of the ablative case by talking about the original use of the ablative: separation. This use is the "from" translation of the ablative case, and is used with verbs that suggest separation, along with verbs prefixed with ab, dē, and ex. This video also begins with a brief introduction to the ablative case, since this is the first of about 20 videos that discuss how the ablative is used in Latin.

We stick with the separative ablative as we explore the ablative of source - namely the object that an ablative comes from, like the source of a river or a parent. Connected to this ablative of source is the material that an object is made from, like how a temple can be made of marble.
In the last two videos, I've been covering verbs that take two accusatives, and this is the final video on that topic: verbs of teaching and showing can take two different objects, one of the person being taught/shown, and one of the thing being taught/shown. I am teaching you (acc of person) Latin (acc of thing).

Some compound verbs (and by some, I mean four) can take two different accusatives, with the second accusative dependent on the prepositional prefix at the beginning of the verb. This rule is commonly seen with verbs compounded with trans, and Caesar especially likes to use this when crossing rivers and such. But be careful, this rule is "some verbs" and "sometimes", since even these verbs don't always follow this rule.

Part of the ablative of separation is the ablative with comparisons, which is commonly translated in English with "than". It's also important to know that quam, "than", is also used with comparisons. This video goes in depth about when to use the ablative and when to use quam, as well as explaining its origin as an ablative of separation.
The ablative case can be used to show the cause of the action, in the sense of "we were praised because of our kindness". This stems from the ablative of separation, where the cause originates "from" a specific act, characteristic, etc. Also part of this ablative are the prepositions causā and grātiā, which take a preceding genitive, e.g., exemplī grātiā.
