In 38 Stories we saw some names, such as Iuno, that are third declension. It's good to get accustomed to how they look before the third declension is formally introduced.
Many third declension nouns have an -o at the end of their nominative form. Then a consonant is added to their stem to make the other forms. With Iuno, the stem of the other forms is Iunon-. The case ending tags are added to that stem.
When deciding which word in the sentence is the subject, make sure to match it up with the verb. For example, we read the sentence "Verba dat in ventis." 'Words' (Verba) can't be the subject, because the verb 'he or she gives' (dat) is singular.
