How many noun cases are there in English?

Answer 1

There are six noun case endings in Latin. They are nominative, vocative, genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative. The vocative differs from the nominative only in singular nouns of the second declension that end in -us or -ius. Traces of a seventh case, the locative, also exist, but there is no separate case ending.
