" Case " in English occurs only in pronouns (nominative/objective/possessive). We don't use these adjectives to describe sentences . You can have all three cases in a single sentence, or clause: He broke my toy so I hit him.

- "He" and "I" are nominative case pronouns, and serve as the subjects of their respective clauses.
- "My" is a possessive pronoun, indicating that I own the toy.

tamaracastro I attached an image of his paperSorry, the image didn't seem to come through. I'm not very good with "attachment" technology. I'm not sure how to advise you on it.
Perhaps, try again, or transcribe the instructions.
