Accusative

In linguistics, the case of a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that forms the direct object of a clause or sentence. In English, unlike more inflected languages, only certain personal and possessive pronouns change their form when they appear in accusative position (so that English speakers say, for example, She hit me and not She hit I). Also called objective. Compare dative; genitive; nominative.
