The forms in -ae (Singular) and -īs (Plural) meaning ‘to’ are often found with verbs of ‘giving’; hence they are called the ‘Dative Case’ (Case of Giving). But they are not used with verbs of ‘going’; with these verbs ‘to’ is expressed by the Preposition ‘ad’ followed by a form in -am (Singular) or -as (Plural).
