Accusative Endings Charts
| Gender | 1st Declension | 2nd Declension | 3rd Declension | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
| Masculine/Feminine | -am | -as | -um | -os | -em | -es |

Nota bene:
- 1st declension has no neuter forms.
- *There is no set Nominative singular ending for 3rd declension nominative singular, but it varies from noun to noun. Because of this, the neuter, accusative singular will use the same form as the nominative singular.
