    FIFTH DECLENSION NOUNS
    The Basics

    Every fifth declension noun ending ends with E. Therefore, it is the E declension.
    The last declension contains only a few words. However, res and dies are used
    constantly and should be memorized.
    Looking at the endings off all the declensions, do you see a pattern?
    • The first declension is the A declension.
    • The second declension is the O declension.
    • The third declension is the I declension.
    • The fourth declension is the U declension.
    • The fifth declension is the E declension.
