+*A noun functioning as a location, goal, recipient or beneficiary is typically in the [[Dative case]]. English doesn't have a dative case, but instead marks indirect object and related notions with prepositions. In Gaelic, certain prepositions trigger the dative case.
 Gaelic makes no distinction between Nominative and Accusative case and instead combines them into a [[Common Case (definition)|common case]] (also sometimes called '''Direct Case'''). It does however, distinguish a genitive case and dative case. These are most readily visible in the determiner (article) system of the language.
