  • 2. 

    The accusative case shows what?

    • Subject

    • Possession

    • Indirect Object

    • Direct Object

    • Object of a Preposition

    Correct Answer
    A. Direct Object
    Explanation
    The accusative case is used to mark the direct object of a transitive verb. For example, in the sentence "I am eating a doughnut." the direct object is doughnut. Therefore, in Latin, the word doughnut would be put in the accusative case.

    The accusative case can also be used in prepositional phrases, but that is only with certain prepositions. The general rule of thumb is that if a preposition shows movement, like "into" or "towards", then the object of the preposition, which is always a noun, will be in the accusative case.
