Latin Declensions

In Latin there are five declensions that nouns fall into based on their endings. The first declension includes masculine and feminine nouns ending in -a. The second declension includes masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns. The third declension contains the most variable endings for masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns. The fourth declension includes a few masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns ending in -u. The fifth declension only includes feminine nouns ending in -es. Each declension follows a specific pattern for its nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative, and ablative cases in both the singular and plural forms.
