Home About me English Grammar Lessons Thursday, 1 August 2013 Sentence Corrections ---- Clarifications & Tips : Chapter Two - Nouns , Use of A postrophe-s etc CHAPTER TWO The Noun--Case A Noun or A Pronoun shows a relation with some other word. This relation is mainly of three types : The Nominative, The Objective & The P ossessive. The Nominative: When a noun or pronoun is used as a subject to a verb for the s ake of address it is said to be in the nominative case. Example : Birds fly. Boys, are you listening? The Objective: When a noun is the object to a verb or a preposition, it is said to be the objective case. Example : John drove a car. Janes sits in the chair.

(USE OF APOSTROPHE-S) The apostrophe ( ' ) is used in following cases: 1. The apostrophe ( ' ) is inserted to show that some letter or letters have be en omitted. se'en (for seven); 'tis (for it is); don't (for do not) shan't (f or shall not). 2. To indicate the plural of letters or figures; a's,t's, 6's,4's etc. 3. ( ' ) is used in possessive case also; as The Possessive : It denotes the possessor or an owner. It is shown by putting 's (apostrophe - s) to the noun. Singular a singer s a girl s. Plural Men s Women s.

s is omitted. In Plurals ending with s, Example : Cats' paws Lions' cage Boys' balls. Whenever the last syllable of a singular noun begins and ends with s, as: Moses laws.

But in case of James s hat, Venus s beauty. Whenever the last syllable of a singular noun ends with s or ce and the noun is followed by sake : For goodness sake For conscience sake. The possessive noun is used with: 1. Nouns denoting persons Examples: Madan s book, Boy s hand 2.Nouns in respect of living things other than man 3.Nouns in respect of personified things: Examples: Fortune s favours, Sorrow s tears, India s heroes etc. 4.Nouns in respect of time, space or weight as : (a) Time : a week s leave, a year s absence, a day s journey etc. (b) Space : a stone s throw, an arm s length, a hand s breadth etc. (c) Weight : a pound s weight, a ton s weight etc. Possessive Case of lifeless objects is formed by Examples: The The The The leg of the table, pages of the book, roof of the house, windows of the house etc. of

(d) When two nouns are used together to denote the same person or thing, the se cond is said to be in apposition to the first. Examples :

My friend, John s house, His aunt, Mrs. Paul s etc. Here apostrophe-s is used with John & Mrs. Paul only and not with My friend & Hi s aunt. (e) Nouns have the same form in Subject (Nominative) and Object (Accusative). Examples: Peter loves Janes. Janes is loved by Peter. But Pronouns are different in the Subject (Nominative) and Object (Accusative) f orms. Examples : He loves her. She is loved by him. By putting the words who can be checked. or whom in place of pronoun, nominative or accusative form

For who subjective and for whom objective form is used. Examples : Who loves whom. He in place of who and her in place of whom will be used. ---> He love s her. Similarly in Case of : Who is there? ---> It is I. Here I is being used in place of who. So it will be I and not me. Examples : Whom did they select as a captain? ---> They selected him as a captain.
