1What is the genitive singular of the first-declension noun puella?
A.puellae
B.puellam
C.puella
D.puellis
Explanation: First-declension nouns form genitive singular in -ae: puella → puellae. That ending also serves as dative singular and nominative plural, so case must be judged from context.

A.servi
B.servos
C.servum
D.servorum
Explanation: Second-declension masculine nouns form accusative plural in -os: servos. Accusative marks the direct object of a transitive verb.

A.regem
B.regis
C.rege

A.rem
B.re
C.rei

B.amat
C.amamus
