Is Latin case sensitive?

Latin is case sensitive for all of its nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. The use of each noun or pronoun in a sentence determines what case ending the noun or pronoun will have. For example, if the noun is used as a subject or as a predicate nominative, it will have a nominative case ending. So also in the case of a noun used as a direct object, the noun will have an accusative case ending appended.
