Latin grammar

Latin, like all other ancient Indo-European languages, is highly inflectional, which allows for very flexible word order. As such, Latin is rather archaic in its preservation of Proto-Indo-European forms. In Latin there are five declensions of nouns and four conjugations of verbs. Latin does not have articles and draws no distinction between, for example, a girl and the girl; the same word, puella, represents both. Latin syntax is generally Subject Object Verb, though variations are common. Latin is right-branching, uses prepositions, and usually places adjectives after their nouns. Latin is also pro-drop and verb-framed.
