4. Every noun has a particular use in
relation to other words in the
sentence. This gives the noun the
quality called case.
Nominative Case Possessive Case
Objective Case

5. Cases of
Noun?

6. A. Nominative Case
The noun is in nominative case if it used as a subject,
predicate, nominative, nominative of address, or
nominative in apposition.
1. A subject refers to the person, the place, or the thing
talked about in the sentence.
Example: St. Valentine had a special love for children.

7. 2. A predicate nominative refers to the same person or
thing as the subject. It is also called a subjective,
complement, It follows a linking verb.
Example: Aristotle was the teacher of Alexander the
Great.
3. A nominative of address names the person that a
speaker addresses. It is set off by a comma or commas.
Example: Marissa, take your books with you.

8. 4. A nominative in apposition is a word or group of words that
explains a noun or pronoun .
There are three important things to remember about an
appositive
a. An appositive is a word or phrase adjacent to a noun or
pronoun that explains or identifies.

9. b. An appositive is restricted if it is essential to the noun that
explains. A restrictive appositive then specifies which person
or thing that the noun refers to.
Examples: My aunt Cora lives in Australia.
The noun Cora identifies which aunt lives in Australia.

10. c. An appositive is nonrestrictive if it is not essential to the
noun that it explains. When a nonrestrictive appositive is
removed from sentence remains complete.
Example:
Mailene, my older sister, is the company’s new manager.
The noun sister nonrestrictive. Without it and its modifier, the
sentence is still complete.
Mailene is the company’s new manager.
A nonrestrictive appositive is set off by a comma or a pair of
commas.

11. B. Possessive Case
The noun that shows possession, ownership or
connection is in the possessive case. The sign of
possessive case is the apostrophe and s.
Example: David’s courage inspired us.
Caryl’s bake shop is the best.

12. B. Objective Case
The noun is in the objective case if it is used as a direct
object, indirect object, object of a preposition, or object in
apposition.
1. A direct object is the receiver of the action
Ex: Rattlesnake periodically shed their skin and fangs.
2. An indirect object refers to whom or for whom the action
is done. It comes before a direct object in a sentence.
Ex: The wise men offered the Infant gifts.

13. 3. The object of a preposition is the noun that comes after
a preposition. It is always part of the prepositional phrase.
Ex: The longest day of the year comes in June.
4. An object in apposition is an appositive that explains a
noun in the objective case. The appositive is set off by
commas unless it is restrictive.
Ex:
The price was awarded to my only son Vince.(restrictive)
Murillo painted “The Immaculate Conception,” a famous
masterpiece. (Nonrestrictive)
