How to define cases of nouns

"Ivan Rodil the Little girl Velel Tashchit Pelenka" - the first letters of this literary nonsense it is ordered announce the list of cases. There are six types of cases: imenitelny, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, prepositional. Each of them speaks about a temporary condition of any given noun which can change in a case look. It is simple to define a type of a case of a noun, it is necessary to understand only what question is answered by each of cases.

Instruction

1. The Nominative case is initial, defining the real sounding of a word. Answers the questions "who?" or "what?". If noun inanimate, for example: a window, the house, the book, the bus, it answers the question "what?" and if it – animated, for example, the girl, an elephant, mom, Rita, respectively, answers the question "who?". This distribution on vivacity of a subject will concern all cases for this reason at each case two questions. Example 1. Person (who?) – the animated noun in the Nominative case, the car (that?) – an inanimate noun in the Nominative case.

2. Genitive case, from the word "give birth to whom?" or "that?". Kind of funny it did not sound, but quite so and it is necessary to ask a question. A number of questions in cases coincide therefore also some words will equally sound, the main thing to raise correctly case question. Example 2. Person (whom?) – the animated noun in a genitive case, the car (that?) – an inanimate noun in a genitive case.

3. The dative case is defined by a phrase "give whom?" or "to what?". Example 3. To the person (to whom?) – the animated noun in a dative case, the car (to what?) – an inanimate noun in a dative case.

4. The accusative case, answers a question: "to blame whom?" or "that?". In the specified example there is a coincidence of an inanimate noun therefore the case is determined logically, by sense. Example 4. Person (whom?) – the animated noun in an accusative case, the car (that?) – an inanimate noun in an accusative case. But if on sense: bought a car (genitive case), and broke the car (accusative case).

5. The instrumental case sounds as: "to create whom?" or "than?". Example 5. Person (whom?) – the animated noun in an instrumental case, car (than?) – an inanimate noun in an instrumental case.

6. A prepositional case - only, asking, not in consonance with the name: "to speak about whom?" or "about what?". It is easy to define a word in this case as the noun in such case always has a pretext. Example 6. About the person (about whom?) – the animated noun in a prepositional case, about the car (about what?) – an inanimate noun in a prepositional case.
