No way. How will I know if you ever figure out what do to when the genitive is looking like the plural accusative?

Reminds of me a cartoon at Oxford.
Atheist to Pastor: A: "Is it okay if I don't stand during services?" P: "It's ok by me but it means your classmates will believe you don't understand Latin." creekster: DDD doesn't speak Greek.

Are you talking about participles? Verbs aren't normally declined.

the nouns in the first declension for Genitive singular look like Accusative Plural. ANd then I was thinking about indicative and simple future. Mixing concepts. Apologies. I was working on two aspects but conflated them. Jeez, I need a break.

Try including the definite article in the declension. That should help keep them distinguished.
