 ABLATIVE CASE GENERALLY REFERRED TO

AS THE “ADVERBIAL” CASE BECAUSE IT

TELLS US SOMETHING ABOUT HOW THE

ACTION OF A VERB WAS PERFORMED.

 By means of what, by what, or with what an action occurred.  Bestiam vinculis tenebunt “They will hold the beast with chains.”  Auxilio puerorum donum pulchrum faciemus “With the help of the boys we will make a beautiful gift.”  Cf. Wheelock, p. 91 for additional examples.

 Cum + Ablative used to describe with whom

an action has occurred.

 Cum amicis venerunt – “They came with

friends.”

 Caesar cum multis copiis revenerunt – “Caesar

returned with many troops.”

 Words connoting time are placed in the

ablative without a preposition to indicate

time when or within which the action of the

verb took place.

 Uno anno redibit – “He will return within one

year.”

 Eo tempore Caesar Galliam vincebat – “At that

time Caesar was conquering Gaul.”

 Numbers indicating order, rank, or sequence

(i.e. First, second, third).

 Decline like ordinary 1

st

nd

declension

adjectives (plural) (i.e. Like the plural of

magnus, magna, magnum).

 Cf. Wheelock, p. 451.

 A word indicating the whole group from which another word is but a part is expressed in the genitive.  Pars consilii tui erat bona. – “Part of your advice was good.”  Nemo amicorum meorum venit. – “No one of my friends came.”  Often used after certain nominative and accustaive pronouns and adjectives (i.e. Aliquid, quid, multum, plus, minus, satis, nihil, tantum, quantum).  Nihil temporis = No time (Literally = Nothing of time).  Satis sapientiae = Enough wisdom (Literally = Enough of wisdom).  Note: sometimes a part of the whole can be expressed with the prepositions “ex” (from) or “de” (about, from) + ablative (i.e. Tres ex amicis = Three of my friends); generally used when cardinal numbers are involved.  Cf. Wheelock, p. 99.
