# Vocative
|
||||||
|
Vocative is a case. Case is the form of a word that helps someone to know the function of the word in a sentence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Case helps the reader to know what the word is doing in a sentence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The vocative case names the person or thing being directly addressed.
|

|
|
||||||
|
## What types of words use case?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Noun**- Case on a noun helps the reader to know how someone or something relates to the action of the verb.
|
||||||
|
* **Article**- Case on an article helps the reader know which word the article is attached to.
|
||||||
|
* **Adjective**- Case on an adjective can help the reader to know which noun the adjective is describing. If the adjective is not used to describe something and it acts like a noun, case helps the reader to know how the word relates to the action of the verb.
|
||||||
|
* **Participle**- Case on a participle is used in the same way as it is with the noun or adjective.
