Current flows from the voltage source to ground. If an appliance is not grounded somehow the hot were to touch the metal case and you touched the case while standing on the ground then the current would try to travel to ground through your body.
I once was called to debug a situation in a residence in Florida where the owner got a shock everytime he took a shower. Turns out the main electric panel had never been grounded to earth and thus the whole house was floating above earth ground. Essentially all the metal pmumbing was at about 60 volts above ground. When taking a shower the water stream conducted the current through the owner's body to the metal drain which was earth grounded.
