case is typically formed by adding an apostrophe followed

belong.

to indicate the indirect object of a verb, the recipient of an
action, or the object of certain prepositions.

we use word order and prepositions like "to" or "for" to convey
similar meanings.

 Vocative Case

directly in a sentence. It is used to get the attention of the person

room 101.

room.
-In both sentences, the names or titles ("Doctor Smith" and "Nurse")

case in English. In languages with a vocative case, these forms of
address would have different grammatical forms.

 CASES OF PRONOUNS

Nominative Objective Possessive

 CASES OF PRONOUNS
Nominative
It is often called subjective
pronouns. A subjective pronoun
acts as a subject in a sentence. It
is needed when a personal
pronoun is used as (1) the
subject of a verb or as a (2)
predicate nominative.
Objective
is a word that replaces a noun
in a sentence. Specifically, this
pronoun must function as an
object of a sentence—it
receives the action of the verb.
Possessive
Possessive pronouns are words
used to indicate that something
belongs to someone or has a
direct relationship with
someone else. They are often
used in speech and writing to
avoid repetition.
 TWO TYPES OF POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Dependent
- used before a noun.
- they are dependent on the noun that comes
after them.
- used to show ownership between a person
and the noun that follows.
- used to show ownership in the sense of a
direct relationship
Independent
- they are independent because they don’t need a
noun after them.
- normally comes at the end of the sentence or
clause.
- it does need auxiliary information before it
appears to show the reader what the possessive
pronoun is indicating ownership
Above all, the objective of using possessive pronouns is to simplify your sentence.
This will provide clarity and even give your speech and writing a sense of style.
Remember these three golden rules to use possessive pronouns correctly:

• Never use an apostrophe with possessive pronouns.

• A dependent possessive pronoun is followed by a noun or a noun with an
adjective modifier (it needs one because it is dependent).
• An independent possessive pronoun is not followed by a noun (it doesn’t need
one because it is independent), and it will usually be at the end of a sentence or
clause.
