====Objects of a verb and the accusative case====
A noun is the object of a verb if the verb acts on that noun. For example, in the sentence "I read a book" the object is "a book"
In Greek, the noun is modified when it acts as the object. The noun is usually placed in the accusative case.
=====Other uses of the Accusative Case=====
* Used with certain prepositions
* To express motion towards
* To indicate a total length in time or geography
====Indirect objects and the dative case====
Nouns that act as the indirect object are placed in the dative case in Greek.
=====Other uses of the Dative Case=====
* Used with certain prepositions
* To express location in space
* To indicate that the noun is an instrument (of a passive verb)
* Used as the direct object for a few special-case verbs (often for verbs to do with commanding or obeying)
* To indicate a point in time
====Qualifying and the genitive case====
If a noun qualifies or possesses another noun, it is in the genitive case. In English, a noun is shown to be genitive by adding '''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>''', for example: "the man's house"
=====Other uses of the Genitive Case=====
* Used with certain prepositions
* To indicate the time during which an event occurred
* With a participle as the Genitive Absolute
* Used as the direct object for a few special-case verbs
