a. When a person is called or addressed, the case used is called the voc’ative (Latin vocare, “to call"). In form the vocative is regularly like the nominative.  In English the name of the person addressed usually stands first in the sentence. The Latin vocative rarely stands first.  Point out five examples of the vocative in this dialogue.

b. Observe that questions answered by yes or no in English are answered in Latin by repeating the verb.  Thus, if you wished to answer in Latin the question Is the sailor fighting? Pugnatne nauta?\ you would say Pugnat\, he is fighting, or Non pugnat\, _he is not fighting._

57. In the preceding lessons we have now gone over all the cases, singular and plural, of nouns whose nominative singular ends in -a.  All Latin nouns whose nominative singular ends in -a belong to the First Declension.  It is also called the A-Declension because of the prominent part which the vowel a\ plays in the formation of the cases.  We have also learned what relations are expressed by each case.  These results are summarized in the following table:
