•Nominative Case
⤍A noun or a pronoun, when it is used as the subject of a verb, it is said to be in the Nominative Case.
For example :-
"Tom killed the snake".
In the above sentence 'Tom' is the subject. It is the answer to the question - Who killed the snake?
"Killed the snake" is the Predicate and it contains the verb 'killed'. So the noun 'Tom' is said to be in the Nominative Case.
Note :- To find the Nominative case ask the question WHO or WHAT to the verb.
