accusative| The case of a noun or pronoun that is the object of a verb or is governed by a preposition. For example: ‘He stroked the dog.’ ‘I worked in the shed.’ Here, dog and shed are both in the accusative case. Dog is the object of the verb ‘stroked’; shed is governed by (its form controlled) by the preposition in. |
| In the grammar of some inflected languages, such as Latin, Greek, and Russian, the accusative case is the form of a noun, pronoun, or adjective used when it is the direct object of a verb. The accusative is also used for the object of certain prepositions. |
