313. 1. The formation of the perfect system is the same in all four conjugations.

LESSON LIV

THE THIRD DECLENSION OF NOUNS

THE NOMINATIVE AND GENITIVE OF THE THIRD DECLENSION

318. Nouns of the third declension have the genitive singular ending in -is. In this declension the nominative singular is formed in a number of different ways. But if the genitive singular is learned at the same time as the nominative, these variations in the nominative will cause ne difficulty. This declension includes masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns.

MASCULINE AND FEMININE NOUNS WITH THE GENITIVE

PLURAL IN -UM

319. There are two general classes of nouns in the third declension. They differ mainly in the ending of the genitive plural. Those which belong to the first class have the genitive plural ending in -um. Masculine and feminine nouns of this class are declined as follows:
