00:00Hi friends! Today we are going to learn about noun and pronoun cases. So let's start.
00:10Nouns. We know noun is a naming word, and all naming words, that is, the names of persons,
00:20animals, birds, places, things, even feelings or ideas are called nouns. And all the words
00:28used in the place of nouns are called pronouns. Every noun or pronoun has a relation with
00:37other words in the sentence, and that relationship is called its case. Cases of nouns, pronouns.
00:49Nouns and pronouns perform different roles in the sentence. There are five cases in English.
00:58The nominative case, the objective case, the vocative case, the possessive case, the dative case.
01:09Let's first learn about the nominative case of nouns and pronouns. In this case, the noun or pronoun
01:19is used as a subject of the verb in the sentence. Nominative case answers a question of who or what
01:29to the verb. Let's learn with an example. He laughed loudly. Here, the pronoun is he, and verb is laughed.
01:45So, the pronoun he is answering the question, who laughed loudly? The answer to the question,
01:54who laughed, is he. So, here the case of the pronoun is nominative. Let's revise. When the noun or pronoun
02:06is answered to the question, who or what to the verb, then the case of the noun or the pronoun is
02:15nominative. Let's learn with examples. He bought a cap. The verb is bought. Who bought the cap?
02:27So, he is answered to the question, who bought? So, he is a nominative case of pronoun.
02:38Nominative case is also called subjective case. Ben was a dancer. We do not have a main verb here,
02:50but we have a helping verb, was. Now, who was a dancer? Ben was a dancer. So, Ben is an answer to the
03:02question, who was? So, Ben is a nominative or subjective case. Sun shines bright at noon.
03:15The verb is shines. What shines bright at noon? The sun. So, answer to the question, what shines,
03:26is the sun. So, sun is a nominative or subjective case of noun. Let's revise once again. When the noun
03:38or pronoun is answered to the question, who or what to the verb, then the case of the noun or the pronoun
03:47is nominative or subjective case. Here is one more example. Gems are precious. Now, we do not have a
04:00main verb here, but we have a helping verb, are. Now, what are precious? Gems are precious. So,
04:11gems is a nominative or subjective case of noun here. Now, let's learn another case of noun or pronoun.
04:21It's the objective or accusative case. A noun or pronoun is said to be in the objective case when it is
04:32used as the object of the verb. If you put what or whom after the verb in the sentence, you will get the
04:42objective or accusative case of noun or pronoun. We will learn it with the help of examples. He painted
04:53a picture. Here, he is the pronoun. Painted is the verb. Now, put who or what before the verb. Who painted
05:06a picture? He painted. He is the answer if we put who or what before the verb. So, he is the nominative
05:18case of the pronoun. Now, put whom or what after the verb. You will get the answer to objective or
05:27accusative case of the noun or pronoun. Now, he painted what? A picture is the answer. So, picture is the
05:40objective or accusative case of noun or pronoun. Here is another example. Mom cooked rice today. The verb is
05:51cooked. Put what or who before the verb to get the nominative case of noun or pronoun. Who cooked the rice?
06:04Mom cooked the rice. So, mom is the nominative or subjective case of noun. Now, mom cooked what? Mom
06:16cooked rice. So, rice is the objective or accusative case of noun or pronoun. Now, here we have another
06:27example. Sam painted the wall red. Now, the verb is painted. Put who or what before the verb and you will get
06:38the nominative or subjective case of noun or pronoun. Who painted the wall red? Sam painted the wall red.
06:49So, Sam is the nominative or subjective case of noun. Now, put who or whom after the verb. Sam painted what? Sam
07:03painted the wall. So, wall is the objective or accusative case of noun. Let's one more example. She threw a stone.
07:17Verb is through. Put what or who before the verb and you will get the nominative or subjective case of noun. Who
07:29threw a stone? So, she is a nominative or the subjective case of pronoun. Now, she threw what? A stone. So, stone is
07:43the objective or accusative case of pronoun. Let's see one more example. They are watching a movie. So, the verb is
07:55watching. Now, put who or what before watching. Who is watching a movie? They are watching. So, they is a
08:09nominative or subjective case of noun. Now, put whom or what after the verb and you will get the objective or
08:19accusative case of noun or pronoun. They are watching what? They are watching a movie. So, movie is the objective or
08:32accusative case of pronoun. So, kids, today we learned that nouns or pronouns have cases in English and that there are
08:42five cases in English and we have also learned the cases of nouns or pronouns. Now, we will learn about more cases in
08:52our next assignment. Now, you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more. Bye-bye.
