00:00Hi friends! Today we are going to learn about more noun cases. So let's start!

00:10We know that noun is a naming word, and all the naming words, that is, names of persons,

00:20animals, birds, places, things, even feelings or ideas are called nouns.

00:29Cases of nouns, pronouns, and we also learned that every noun has some relation with some other word in the sentence.

00:41The relationship between the noun and some other word in the sentence is called case.

00:49We have already learned about two cases of nouns and pronouns, nominative case and accusative case.

00:59Now the cases we are going to learn about are the vocative case, the possessive case, and the dative case.

01:11We are going to begin with the possessive case or genitive case of noun and pronoun.

01:20A noun or pronoun is said to be in possessive case or genitive case when it shows ownership, authority, origin, kind, etc.

01:35Let's learn this with the help of examples.

01:39That book is mine.

01:41The pronoun mine shows the ownership of the book.

01:46So the pronoun mine is in the possessive case, also called genitive case.

01:56That is Rika's car.

01:58The word Rika's shows the ownership of the car.

02:03So here, the word Rika's is a possessive or the genitive case as it is showing possession.

02:13Now let's learn how to make possessive cases of different nouns.

02:18If we have a singular noun, we can apostrophe s after it to make it a possessive noun.

02:27For example, girl, girls.

02:31Boy, boys.

02:34Child, childs.

02:37Here are some sentences.

02:40This girl's dress is very elegant.

02:45This boy's perfume is very nice.

02:50And if the noun is plural, for example, girls, we can make a possessive noun by adding an apostrophe in the end.

03:00Let's have a look at example sentences.

03:04Those girls' dresses are very nice.

03:09This means that the dresses of those girls are very nice.

03:15Here, girls with an apostrophe in the end is a possessive case of a plural noun.

03:24Let's have more cases of possessive cases of plural nouns.

03:29This is boy's perfume.

03:33This means that this perfume is for boys.

03:37Here, boys is a possessive case of a plural noun.

03:44This child's handwriting is very beautiful.

03:48Here, the word childs is a possessive case of a singular noun.

03:56All these books are mine.

03:59Here, the pronoun mine shows a possession of something.

04:05So, mine is a possessive pronoun.

04:10Your hair is very long.

04:13Here, the pronoun your shows possession.

04:18So, it's a possessive pronoun.

04:22Whose books are these?

04:25Whose spectacles are these?

04:28Here we have more examples.

04:30Vocative case of noun pronoun.

04:35Noun is said to be in vocative case when it's the name of the person being addressed in the sentence.

04:43Let's learn with examples.

04:46Lisa, come here and have your breakfast.

04:50Here, Lisa is noun in the vocative case as Lisa is being addressed or talked to.

05:00Hey Sam, let's play football.

05:03Here, Sam is in the vocative case as Sam is being addressed or talked to.

05:12Olivia, please concentrate on your work.

05:15Here, Olivia is a noun in the vocative case as Olivia is being addressed or talked to.

05:25Joy, you have been playing since five hours.

05:29Now, come inside.

05:31Here, Joy is in the vocative case of noun.

05:36John, will you come to play with me?

05:40Here too, John is in the vocative case.

05:45Oh John, you have done it in the wrong manner.

05:49In this sentence, the word John is in the vocative case as it's the name of the person we are talking to.

05:58So, the exact naming verbs are the nouns that are in the vocative case.

06:06Now, we have to learn the last case of the noun and it is the dative case.

06:13When a noun is used as an indirect object of the verb, it's said to be in a dative case.

06:20We will learn with examples.

06:23My father gave Tia a book.

06:27Father is the subject.

06:29Gave is the verb and he gave what?

06:35He gave a book.

06:37So, book is a direct object.

06:41And gave the book to whom?

06:43Gave the book to Tia.

06:46So, Tia is indirect object of the verb.

06:51So, Tia is said to be in the dative case.

06:56Here we have more examples.

06:59My mother made me a pizza.

07:02Mother is the subject.

07:04Made is the verb.

07:07And she made what?

07:09Pizza.

07:10So, pizza is the direct object.

07:14But mother made pizza for whom?

07:17For me.

07:19So, indirect object of the verb is me.

07:23So, me is said to be in the dative case.

07:29The teacher gave children a surprise test.

07:32Teacher is the subject.

07:35Gave is the verb.

07:37And gave what?

07:39Gave a test.

07:41So, test is the direct object.

07:45And gave test to whom?

07:47To the children.

07:50So, children is the indirect object of verb.

07:54So, it will be said to be in the dative case.

07:57So, friends, we have learned about the cases of nouns.

08:07The nominative case.

08:09The objective case.
