Case in English Grammar with Its Types | Four Kinds of Case in Grammar

In this article, we shall study  Case in English Grammar with Its Types. The word which shows the relation of a noun or pronoun to some other words in a sentence is called case.

There are four types of Case in English Grammar

1. Nominative Case (Subjective Case – कर्ता  कारक  )

A noun or pronoun that acts as a subject of a verb is called Nominative Case.

Examples:

Shakespeare wrote many dramas in his time.

Golden Temple is famous in whole over the world.

Nitin wrote many letters for you.

इस sentence में Shakespeare, Golden Temple and Nitin, subject के रूप में work कर रहे हैं।  इसीलिए , इन्हे Subjective Case कहा जाता है।

2. Possessive Case (संबधकारक )

The noun or pronoun which shows its relation or ownership on another noun is called possessive case.

This is Mayank’s father.

These are the windows of that room.

This is my pen.

ऊपर दिए गए examples में  ‘s,  of and my अधिकार दिखाने का काम कर हैं। इसीलिए, इन्हें Possessive Case कहा जाता है।

Note: Possessive Case में my , our , your , his ,her , its , and their का प्रयोग Noun के पहले नहीं किया जाता है। 

Note 2: ‘s का प्रयोग हमेशा सजीव (Living object) के साथ जबकि of का प्रयोग निर्जीव (Non -living object) के साथ किया जाता है।

Examples: Mohan’s pen, Kamal’s fan, hen’s feed, the gate of school, the bottle of rohan etc.

3. Objective Case (कर्म कारक ) 

 A noun or pronoun that acts as the object of a verb is called Objective Case.

Examples:

I helped you.

I play football.

She helped her.

You, football and her का प्रयोग object के रूप में हुआ है।  अतः , ये objective case हैं।

Note: Objective Case  का जगह हमेशा noun या pronoun ही लेता है।

4. Vocative Case (सम्बोधन कारक )

When a noun is called, it is known as vocative Case.

Examples:

Come here,  Divyansh.

Are you going, brother?

Where is my sister?

 ऊपर दिए गए examples में Divyansh, brother and sister  का प्रयोग सिर्फ सम्बोधन के लिए हुआ है।  अतः, ये Vocative Case हैं.
