A '''grammatical case,''' in many [[language]]s, is an inflectional form of a [[noun]], [[pronoun]], or [[adjective]] that indicates its grammatical relation to other words.<ref>[http://www.orbilat.com/General_References/Linguistic_Terms.html#case Linguistic Terms: Case]</ref> [[English]] has three cases, the ''nominative,'' ''possessive,'' and ''objective'' cases. However, only pronouns distinguish all three cases, since nouns have the same form for the nominative and objective cases. Also, adjectives in English are no longer declined for case, although in most languages that distinguish case, adjectives agree in case with the nouns that they modify.
==Examples of cases in English==
*Nominative: we; man
*Possessive: our; man's
*Objective: us; man
