In this lesson we explore uses of the ablative case in Latin.
Notes
-----------------
** You will have noticed that in the part of the lesson concerning the ablative of separation the text reads 'ex / e' and 'ab / a'. Ex and e have the same meaning, similarly ab and a have the same meaning.
E is a shortened form of ex. A is a shortened form of ab. The prepositions e and a are never followed by a vowel or an h.
These words can also operate as prefixes, as we saw in Lesson 5. Some words take ab as a prefix e.g. absum (I am absent, I am away), whereas others take a e.g. amoveo (I remove).
** In this sentence: gladiīs inicīmōs pugnāmus, I accidentally forgot the long a in pugnāmus.
