Study Notes
Noun Case
- Case refers to the property of a noun or pronoun that indicates its role in a sentence.
Types of Case
- There are four types of case in English:
Subjective or Nominative Case
- A noun or pronoun is in the subjective case when it occupies the position of the subject in a sentence.
- To identify the nominative case, ask "what" or "who".
- Example: In "Wasim bought ice cream for Nimmi", "Wasim" is in the subjective case and "She" is the subject.
Accusative or Objective Case
- A noun plays the role of a direct object in a sentence when it is in the objective case.
- To identify the accusative or objective case, ask "what" or "whom".
- Example: In "Wasim bought the ice cream for Nimmi", "ice cream" is the direct object and in the objective case.
- Example: In "Nimmi liked it so much", "it" is the direct object and in the objective case.
Genitive Case
- No description provided in the text, but it is also known as the possessive case or associative case.
- Example: No example provided, but it typically indicates possession or association.
Dative Case
- A noun or pronoun is in the dative case when it plays the role of an indirect object in a sentence.
- The noun that answers the question "to whom" or "for whom" is in the dative case.
- Example: In "Wasim bought the ice cream for Nimmi", "Nimmi" is the indirect object and in the dative case.
