1. Case forms for nouns are alike.

a) The girl in the class gave the girl in the locker room her lipstick. (The girl’s lipstick)

Nominative pronoun - I, you, he, she, it.
Singular object - me, you, him, her, it.
Possessive - my, mine, your, yours, his, hers, its.

Nominative (subject of the verb, predicate nominative).

Subject of verb (She and I, me, have an appointment).

Predicate nouns that follow a linking verb (not action verb) remains the subject.

The pattern will be Noun – Linking Verb – Verb.

a) He is my friend.

Predicate Nominative – comes after a linking verb, ie; some form of the verb (to be) – that is (he, him) – he is (to be). That must have been (she, her). A predicate nominative means the same thing as the noun or pronoun to which it refers.

Plural forms and nouns are used:

a) By adding only “ans.”
b) By adding “es.”
c) By adding “ies” after removing they.
d) By adding “es” to a noun that ends in “o.”
e) By adding “ves” after removing the “f.”
f) By changing the internal spelling.
g) By adding “es” to singular form.

- Some nouns remain the same in plural form.
- Some nouns have secondary plural.
- Some nouns have no plural form or meaning.
- Most hyphenated compound nouns add “s” to the first word.
