Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Nominative Case: The grammatical case used for the subject of a sentence; answers "Who?" or "What?".
  • Accusative Case: Used for the direct object; answers "Whom?" or "What?" in relation to the verb.
  • Dative Case: Indicates the indirect object; answers "To whom?" or "For whom?".
  • Genitive Case: Shows possession or relationship; answers "Whose?".
  • Prepositions and Cases: Certain prepositions govern specific cases—some always take accusative, others dative, and some genitive.
  • Articles and Cases: Articles (definite and indefinite) change form depending on the case, gender, and number of the noun.
