I had a quiz today so I wanted to see if I answered correctly. Can somebody please give me all the cases, singular and plural, for these three latin nouns:
Dilligentia, Dilligentiae
Legatus, Legati
Munera, Muneris [?] - Hardest for me
Thanks :D

The first two are fine, but munera is the plural form of the singular munus (gift; office; favor; tax, games). Muneris is the singular, genitive form of munus.
"Munus" is a neuter - not a masculine - noun of the 3d declination, so the plural form "munera" is comparable to tempus - tempora, genus - genera, corpus - corpora. There is in fact another plural form, munia - with a whole story of its own - but since that was not in your quiz, it's munus for singular and munera for plural.
