Nominative case-Subject noun or predicate nominative Genitive case-Shows possession Dative case-Indirect object, indicated by the prepositions to and for Accusative case- Direct object, sometimes the object of the preposition Ablative case-Object of the preposition Vocative case-Interjection or direct address
