    used in six cases.

    1. Nominative case is used when the noun denotes the


    subject of an action or state.

    It can be introduced by the demonstrative pronouns


    «это» or «вот».
    Это книга. This is a book.
    Вот Анна.   Here is Anna.

    It can be used in possessive constructions «у [кого?


    чего?] есть [кто? что?]».
    У меня есть кот. I have a cat.

    2. The Genitive is used to denote possession, the


    relation of the part to the whole, the agent of
    an action or process, descriptive attributes etc.
