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.
