Tell the _person_ and _case_ of each of the following nouns and pronouns.
+_Remember_+ that a noun or pronoun used as an _explanatory modifier_ is in the same case as the word which it explains, and that a noun or pronoun used _independently_ is in the _nominative case_. We Americans do things in a hurry. You Englishmen take more time to think. The Germans do their work with the most patience and deliberation. We boys desire a holiday. Come on, my men; I will lead you. I, your teacher, desire your success. You, my pupils, are attentive. I called on Tom, the tinker. Friends, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause. Write simple sentences in which each of the following nouns shall be used in the _three persons_ and in the _three cases_. Andrew Jackson, Alexander, Yankees. Write a sentence containing a noun in the _nominative_ case, used as an _attribute;_ one in the _nominative_, used as an _explanatory modifier_; one in the _nominative_, used independently. Write a sentence containing a noun in the _objective case_, used to _complete two predicate verbs_; one used to _complete_ a _participle_; one used to _complete_ an _infinitive_; one used _with a preposition_ to make a phrase; one used as an _explanatory modifier_. |
