changes of endings. In English we have three cases,--nominative,
possessive, and objective; but, in nouns, the nominative and objective
have the same form, and only the possessive case shows a change of
ending, by adding _’s_ or the apostrophe. The interrogative pronoun,
however, has the fuller declension, _who?_ _whose?_ _whom?_

«33.» The following table shows a comparison between English and Latin
declension forms, and should be thoroughly memorized:
