Quid vidēs? │ What do you see? It’s one of the best ways of
practising the accusative case and so here is a quick review of that:
[1] 1st declension
[i] Nominative singular -a; accusative singular -am
Lūna in caelō est. │ The moon is in the sky.
> Lūnam [accusative: direct object] in
caelō videō. │ I see ¦ the moon [direct object] ¦
in the sky.
Stella in caelō est. │ A star is in the sky.
> Stellam in caelō videō. │ I see a star in
the sky.
[ii] Nominative plural -ae; accusative plural -ās
Stellae in caelō sunt. │ There are stars in the
sky.
> Stellās in caelō videō. │ I see stars the
sky.
Lūna et stellae in caelō sunt. │ The
moon and the stars are in the sky.
Lūnam et stellās in caelō videō. │ I
see the moon and the stars in the sky.
And, if you’re level 2:
Stellās errantēs in caelō videō. │ I
see stars wandering in the sky = I see planets.
Stellās splendentes in caelō videō.
│ I see stars shining in the sky.
