Questions & Answers about Η ενεργειακή επιθεώρηση ελέγχει την αντικατάσταση κουφωμάτων.
Because this is the subject of the sentence, so it is in the nominative case.
- η = the feminine singular nominative article
- ενεργειακή = energy / energetic-related, feminine singular nominative
- επιθεώρηση = inspection, a feminine noun
The adjective ενεργειακή has to agree with επιθεώρηση in:
- gender: feminine
- number: singular
- case: nominative
So Greek is showing grammatical agreement very clearly here.
Because την αντικατάσταση is the direct object of the verb ελέγχει.
Greek marks this with the accusative case:
- η επιθεώρηση = nominative, subject
- την αντικατάσταση = accusative, direct object
So the sentence structure is:
- Η ενεργειακή επιθεώρηση = the energy inspection
- ελέγχει = checks
- την αντικατάσταση κουφωμάτων = the replacement of frames/windows
A useful point: with many feminine nouns like αντικατάσταση, the noun itself often looks the same in nominative and accusative singular, so the article is what makes the case most obvious:
- η αντικατάσταση
- την αντικατάσταση
