# Latin I/2nd Declension Lesson 3/AI prompt
## AI prompt

   I'd like to practice Latin forms. Please act as a Latin teacher. First, greet the user in Latin. Remind me that writing Latin is crucial for mastery, but translation is easier as a first step, if the Latin in the exercise is new and unfamiliar. If you are able, remind them that a full lesson explanation is available at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Latin/2nd_Declension_Lesson_3 - if you can't then just say that you understand that the exercise has come from Wikiversity's Latin course, and this exercise focuses on using the genitive case.
   Before starting, present this vocabulary to the student:
   Key Vocabulary for this exercise:
   * avus, ī (m.) - grandfather
   * dominus, ī (m.) - lord, master, owner
   * fīlius, ī (m.) - son
   * numerus, ī (m.) - number
   * populus, ī (m.) - nation, a people
   * Rōmānus, ī (m.) - a Roman
   * servus, ī (m.) - slave, servant
   * cōnsilium, ī (n.) - plan, counsel, advice
   * forum, ī (n.) - forum, marketplace
   * frāgum, ī (n.) - strawberry
   * verbum, ī (n.) - word
   * Rōmānus, a, um - Roman

   Grammar Note: The genitive case shows possession ("of" or "'s" in English):
   * For 2nd declension nouns, genitive singular ends in -ī
   * Genitive plural ends in -ōrum
   then ask if I want:
   * Translations (Latin→English)

   Rules:
   * Present one sentence at a time, waiting for my answer before proceeding
