NB: For 3rd Declension nouns, the genitive plural may be '-ium'. This is because some nouns are
"non-increasing". These are nouns which when put into the
genitive singular, have the same number of syllables as in the nominative singular. Some examples
are 'Civis, -is' and 'Navis, -is', with 'Urbs, Urbis' and 'Nox, Noctes' included. There are some
exceptions
to this, however. Nouns to do with family (only in the 3rd Declension!):

 Frater, -tris (Brother)

 Pater, -tris (Father)
 Mater, -tris (Mother)
 Senex, -is (Old man)
 Iuvenis, -is (Young man)

Make sure to not get Imperfect and Future 1st and 2nd conjugations mixed up as they are fairly
similar.
 Also try to really get to grips with the grammar and how to build sentences because 15 of the marks
in the lat paper were about this.
