Nominative and Accusative

Nominative Case Used to identify the subject Used to identify the predicate

Subject The subject performs the action of the verb. Who? / what? + verb = Subject Ms. Pittman makes blueberry jam. Who?/ What? + makes = Ms. Pittman Jupiter loves Europe. Who?/ what? + loves = Jupiter Juppiter Eurōpam amat.

Predicate A predicate word defines or describes the sentence’s subject, it is connected by a linking verb – Mark = my best friend. – Arachne est puella stuluta.

Accusative Case Mostly direct objects Objects of some prepositions

Direct Object Direct Objects directly receive the action of the verbs. Subject + verb + who? / what? = Direct Object The god loves the nymph. God + loves+ who? /what? = The nymph The girl sees the bull. The girl sees what? The bull Juppiter Eurōpam amat.
