No way. How will I know if you ever figure out what do to when the genitive is looking like the plural accusative?

Reminds of me a cartoon at Oxford.

Atheist to Pastor:

A: "Is it okay if I don't stand during services?"

P: "It's ok by me but it means your classmates will believe you don't understand Latin."

creekster: DDD doesn't speak Greek.

Are you talking about participles? Verbs aren't normally declined.

I'll go straight to the book and quote it so that I don't misquote it.

Didn't I say conjugated?

You talked about verbs in the genitive and accusative plural. You probably mean nouns (?)

You just have "conjugal" on your mind.

I'm sorry, you're right. I've been practicing my First and Second Declension nouns so I forgot.

the nouns in the first declension for Genitive singular look like Accusative Plural.

ANd then I was thinking about indicative and simple future.

Mixing concepts. Apologies. I was working on two aspects but conflated them. Jeez, I need a break.

And probably mixing it up with the other 22 languages you study regularly. You're a machine.

Try including the definite article in the declension. That should help keep them distinguished.
