The city of Munich plans many interesting festivities.
I am working on an english maintenance and #3 tells me to identify the nouns in the objective case in this sentence.
Could you please help
In English, nouns do not have subject or object case; pronouns do, but nouns don't.
If you need to know which noun serves as the direct object, ask yourself this:
The city of Munich plans what? You'll probably answer with three words, but only one of those words is a noun -- nouns name people, places, things, and ideas. Which of those three words is the noun?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help forum. Ask "What does the city plan? The answer (festivities) is the direct-object noun.

Of course! To identify the nouns in the objective case in the sentence "The city of Munich plans many interesting festivities," we need to determine which nouns are acting as the direct object or object complement. In this case, the noun "festivities" is functioning as the direct object of the verb "plans."
To clarify, the direct object is the noun or noun phrase that receives the action of the verb. In this sentence, "plans" is the verb and "festivities" is the noun that is being planned. Therefore, "festivities" is the noun in the objective case in this sentence.
