In nouns it can show what case (e.g. nominative aka subject of sentence), Declension (e.g. 1st or 2nd), Number (e.g. singular or plural). Here's an example (bold type is the example worked through). mercator clamavit servo. the ending is -o in the bold noun (used in this example). This shows that it is in either the dative or ablative case and that is also singular. In the example of this sentence it is in the dative (to/for) case and is singular. mercator = a/the merchant (subject in sentence) clamavit = he/she/it shouted servo = to/for a/the slave Translates to: the merchant shouted to the slave. In a verb the ending can tell us what person (e.g. 1st person), tense (e.g. imperfect tense), number (singular or plural). An example for this is: (bold type is the example worked through). canis dormit. The ending here is -it. This shows us that it is sungular, present tense, 3rd person (he/she/it). canis = a/the dog (subject in sentence). dormit = he/she/it is sleeping/sleeps. canis dormit then translates to: the dog is is sleeping. These translation are done to make better sense in English.
