Nouns have only three cases:

  • nominative case (subject)
  • objective case
  • possessive case

Verbs have active and passive cases:

  • In the active voice, the object receives the action of the verb: John hit the ball.
  • In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb: The ball was hit by John.
