Function of nouns in a sentence
Unlike English, in Koine Greek, nouns decline, that is, they undergo changes in their form depending upon their use in a sentence.
In Greek, nouns are classified as one of the following
- Nominative (the subject of a verb)
- Accusative (usually the direct object of a verb)
- Dative (usually the indirect object of a verb)
- Genitive (usually representing possession, or qualifying another noun)
- Vocative (a form of address)
Nouns can also be related to a preposition
