Yes, word endings matter when determining the sense of a Latin sentence. The classical Latin language of the ancient Romans uses case endings to show the relationship of the parts of the sentence to the verb. So it's important to know the difference among the subject, the objects of possession and of the preposition, and the direct and indirect objects.
