It's nominative and accusative...Nominative is the form of a noun when it's the subject, and accusative is the form when it's the direct object. For example, servus is nominative and servum is accusative.

Beardo, Latin actually has different forms of nouns depending on whether they're subjects, direct objects, indirect objects or possessive, or if they describe location (Latin nouns are declined-- nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative). I'm not sure if you knew that already or if you just used English to explain to her the difference between a subject and a direct object.

So for example when you say "I have a test" - I is nominative and a test is accusative.
