In grammar, the different forms (inflections) taken by nouns, pronouns, and adjectives depending on their function in a sentence. English is a language with four inflections; most words have no more than two forms. For example, six pronouns have one form when they are the subject of the verb, and a different form when they are either objects of the verb or governed by a preposition. The six are: I/me, he/him, we/us, they/them, who/whom. In “I like cats”, I is the subject of the sentence. In “Cats hate me”, me is the object. Latin has 6 cases, and Hungarian more than 25.

An event which combines the visual arts and improvised theater. Happenings became popular in the US in the 1960s, influenced by the composer John Cage's theories concerning the role of chance in art, and closely related to performance art and environment art. They were associated particularly with the US painter Allen Kaprow (1927– ), who first used the term 1959, as well as with the pop artists Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, and Robert Rauschenberg.
Artists such as Yves Klein in France and Joseph Beuys in Germany have developed the political potential of happenings.
