Among animals there are two sexes; the masculine or male, and the feminine or female. Those objects that are neither male nor female, are said to be of the neuter gender. To the names of animals of the male kind is given the masculine gender; to those of the female kind, the feminine gender; while to those objects that are neither male nor female, is applied the neuter gender. Thus: John lent a book to Ann. In this example, John is a noun proper, third person, singu·lar number, and of the masculine gender; for it is the name of a male; lent is a verb expressing the act done by John the agent; a, is an article, and refers to the noun book, in limitation; book, is a noun common, third person, singular number, and of the neuter gender, because it is neither male nor female; to, is a position, referring to the noun Ann in relation; and Ann, is a noun proper, third person, singular number, and of the feminine gender, because it is the name of a female. pre The boys write on paper.

Case, in Grammar, refers to the termination or situation of nouns as connected with the other parts of speech. Nouns have three cases; the nominative case, the possessive case, and the objective case. NOMINATIVE CASE. The nominative case of a noun, is merely the name of the agent that acts, and therefore it becomes the subject of the verb; as: Mary writes. In this sentence, Mary is a noun proper, third person, singular number, feminine gender, and in the nominative case to the verb writes, or rather the subject of the verb writes, because it is the name of the agent that acts. Writes, is a verb, because it expresses the action of an agent. Ann reads. The boys write. falls. Time flies. The sun shines. The river runs. horse feeds. The birds sing. SPELLING. The man walks. The tree The vine grows. LESSON 17. fur-long fur-nish get'-ting gift'-ed gild'-ing gim'-let glob'-üle glot'-tis gos'-pěl READING.-LESSON 18. 17.

GRAMMAR.-LESSON 20. POSSESSIVE CASE. The Possessive Case of a noun, is that state of the name which implies the possession of an object, or property in it. This state of the noun is distinguished from every other in which it is written, by having an apostrophe and an s, at the termination, as, Mary's mind grows. Here, Mary is a noun proper, third person, singular number, feminine gender, and in the possessive case, for it implies possession, to wit: a mind, and is terminated with an apostrophe, the sign of possession, and an s. Mind is a common noun, third person, singular number, neuter gender, and is the subject of the verb grows. Grows is a verb, for it expresses the action of the agent, mind, or nominalive. Ann's pen blots. John's brother writes. William's hat is new. The bird's wing is broke. A child's time is precious. OBS. 1. When the name denoting property ends with S, the sign of possession is an apostrophe only, placed after the s. The girls' books are old. Moses' house stands on a hill. The boys' hand ball is poor. James' horse is young. OBS. 2. The possessive case of a noun may be easily, and, I think, very correctly converted to an adjective, implying possession, the same as the possessive adjective pronoun. 1. The ties between man` and man', cease not when parted by the stroke of death'. The man dies', but his memory lives`; he indeed, goes to the house appointed for the living', but behind him', stay his deeds`;-the influence of his examples', and the effects of his actions. 2.

When they walk abroad', he walks with them'; and they hold converse with him as with a friend'; and when they sleep', his voice', in the stillness of the night', reaches their hearts'. |
