  1. 4 Hints for 3rd declension nouns:
    • 1. Memorize the genitive singular form along with the lexical form.. if you drop the genitive singular case ending, you will normally have the word's stem.
    • 2. whatever happens in the nominative singular (sigma) also happens in the dative plural. This is because the dative plural case ending (sigma iota) also begins with a sigma.
    • 3. a nu drops out when followed by a sigma.
    • 4. a tau drops out when followed by a sigma or if it is at the end of a word.
  2. Does the article change its form based on the declension of the word it modifies?
    no- the article always has the same form.
