Now that we know how to create the accusative singular and plural, we shall find that this form is very useful for creating more interesting and complex sentences.  

The most common use of the accusative case is as the direct object of a verb. A direct object receives ( = is the object of) the action of some verb.  

For example, consider the sentence 

Ancilla urnam portat. = The maid carries the water jar.  

Notice how the water jar receives the action (carrying) of the verb.  

Here are some more examples. Notice how Latin tends to put the verb at the end of the sentence.
