Accusative_case LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER (597 words) |
 | The same case is used in many languages for the objects of (some or all) prepositions. |
| "Whom" is the accusative case of "who"; "him" is the accusative case of "he" (the final "m" of both of these words can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European accusative case suffix); and "her" is the accusative case of "she". |
| This is the form in nominative case, used for the subject of a sentence. |
| Grammatical case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (860 words) |
| In grammar, the case of a noun or pronoun is its grammatical function in a greater phrase or clause; such as the role of subject, of direct object, or of possessor. |
| While all languages distinguish cases in some fashion, it is only customary to say that a language has cases when these are codified in the morphology of its nouns — that is, when nouns change their form to reflect their case. |
| Cases are not very prominent in modern English, except in its personal pronouns (a remnant of the more extensive case system which existed in Old English). |
