| Most of the time that that nouns appear in Nominative case
it is because they are the subjects of the skeleton. Here are some
examples of nominative subjects. The nominative subject is
underlined.
canis cenam Scintillae edit. "The dog eats Scintilla's dinner" Diem nox premit, dies noctem, "The night follws the day and the day the night." This sentence has two transitive active skeletons (with the verb understood in the second clause). Nox and dies are in the nominative and so are the subjects. |
