  Dative case - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
The dative generally marks the indirect object of a verb, although in some instances, the dative is used for the direct object of a verb pertaining directly to an act of giving something.
The pronoun whom is also a remnant of the dative case in English, descending from the Old English dative pronoun "hwām" (as opposed to the nominative "who", which descends from Old English "hwā") — though "whom" also absorbed the functions of the Old English accusative pronoun "hwone".

The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person being addressed, found in Latin among other languages.
In Latin the vocative case of a noun is the same as the nominative, except for masculine singular second declension nouns.
In English the vocative case is not marked, but English syntax performs a similar function; witness: "John, could you come here?" or "I don't think so, John", where "John" is neither subject nor object of the verb, but rather indicates the person to whom the statement is being addressed.

 Nominative case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun.
The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the least marked) of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech.
In nominative-absolutive languages, the nominative case marks the subject of a transitive verb or a voluntary subject of an intransitive verb, but not an involuntary subject of an intransitive verb (for which the absolutive case is used).
