Accusitive

The Romans used the accusative case to indicate the direct object of the action of the verb, the person or thing directly affected by the action of the verb. It can also be used for the object of certain prepositions: e.g., ad, to; in, into; post, after, behind. In sentences A and B, roses is the direct object of is (are) giving.
