The nominative case refers to a sentence which contains a subject and a verb. The NOUN (or pronoun) which is the subject of the sentence is said to be a nominative noun. In the nominative case we are not interested in nouns or pronouns which act as direct objects, indirect objects or the object of any prepositions.

Ein words are possessive pronouns. They indicate to whom the noun belongs.
