    The six cases of nouns:
    Nominative: Used for the subject of the verb.
    Vocative: Used to call or address someone or something.
    Accusative: Used for the object of a verb.
    Genitive: Used for nouns that are ‘of’ something else and to show possession (who something belongs to).
    Dative: Used for nouns that are to or for something.
    Ablative (absent in Greek): Used for nouns that are by, with or from something.

    Dative: Ego litteris Latinis (plural) studeo (intransitive). (I study Latin Literature)
    Accusative: Ubi litteras Latinas (plural) legitis (transitive)? (Where do you read Latin Literature)

    Demonstrative Pronouns:
    This: hic, hoc haec
    Hic = Masculine singular nominative
    Hoc = Neuter singular nominative, Accusative, Ablative
    Haec = Feminine singular nominative
