3. Chapter 10 Third Declension Nouns
A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. The Chapter 10 Vocabulary on Page 68 lists a bunch of nouns. Some are… māter, mātris, f.: mother pater, patris, m.: father corpus, corporis, n.: body uxor, uxōris, f.: wife
Notice the endings are different, yet again? These are not prīmae or even secūndae declension nouns!

Your Latin Dictionary contains three pieces of information for every noun:
pater, patris, m.: father
iuvenis, iuvenis, m/f.: youth
The first form or nominative singular
The second form or genitive singular

The gender : masculine, feminine, or neuter.

If an object has neither gender (e.g. table, tree, town) Latin may classify it as any of the genders.
