Are you learning Latin or something?

I'll use an example sentence to explain the five terms:

"Andy, my father gave my brother's dog to the neighbors."

Andy = vocative
my father = nominative
my brother's = genitive
dog = accusative
to the neighbors = dative

Yeah, but how would you say "Romans go home" in Latin?

Nominative:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
Genitive:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
Accusative:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
Dative:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
Vocative:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!

In English {
&nbspjective = nominative;
 objective = dative = accusative;
 possessive = genitive;
 vocative.relevant = false;
}

{ I, who, Jane } ⊂ Subjective
{ me, whom, Jane } ⊂ Objective
{ my, mine, whose, Jane's } ⊂ Possessive

I'm not sure.

"Romani, contendite ad domum" or something like that maybe...

Heh, I know it, but seriously, I can't remember what the word "go" is in Latin. Maybe someone can help me get some peace of mind here.
