Please and thank you.

Ok, bear with me this might be a bit complicated.

Explanation:

In order to find he stem of a Latin noun, you need to know the full dictionary entry.

Ex.

amo - full entry amo, amare, amavi, amatus

Then go to the infinitive, or the second part, an take off the re.

Ex.

amare - ama

Then use this handy dandy little chart my Latin teacher gave me to figure out what declension it is.

1 - a   2 - e, eo   3 - e just o  4 -i, io

Use the chart to see what endings match and whichever match thats hich declension it is.

ama - 1st declention
