What does the objective case indicate?

Subjects in a sentence
Possessions of nouns
Nouns or pronouns used as direct or indirect objects
Expressions of strong emotion

The correct answer is: Nouns or pronouns used as direct or indirect objects

The objective case is used to indicate nouns or pronouns that function as direct or indirect objects within a sentence. This means that when a pronoun or a noun is receiving the action of the verb directly or indirectly, it is in the objective case. For instance, in the sentence "She gave him the book," "him" is the indirect object (the recipient), and "the book" is the direct object (the item being given). Understanding the role of the objective case is critical in sentence structure as it helps clarify who is receiving the action and ensures proper grammar usage. The options that do not relate to the objective case include those that pertain to subjects, possessive forms, or emotional expressions, which do not convey the same grammatical function.
