Cases

Latin uses grammatical cases: words change when they get a different function in a sentence.

Nominative

The nominative case is the form of a noun you will find a dictionary. It is used for the subject of a sentences and for predicates following a form of "to be".
You can find a subject by asking the question "Who/What + verb?"
Example:

• The man is sleeping. Who is sleeping? -> The man
• I love you. Who loves you? -> I

The predicate is the second part of a sentence following the "X is Y" pattern.
Example:

• I am a man. -> a man
• These women are engineers. -> engineers
