Hey everybody. I was doing my Latin homework and I came across this word: agrum. I looked it up everywhere and cannot find it. Maybe a more experienced Latin speaker would know what it could mean. I am using Oxford's Latin course, part one. The sentence is:
Flaccus agrum arat.
Flaccus is a name, and arat means to plough. But I don't know what agrum is. Thanks a bunch!
Sara
please help with a quick sentence!

Sara,
Keep the Perseus Morphological Analyses tool bookmarked. It disects stem-changing nouns like ager, agri, not to mention every other part of speech, like frogs.

this one is a bit simpler than the Perseus tool:

Perseus is without a doubt superior, but much slower and more complicated.
