THE CASES OF PRONOUNS (NOMINATIVE CASE, OBJECTIVE CASE AND

POSSESSIVE CASE)
The Nominative Case. Use the nominative case for the subject of a verb or for a predicate
nominative. When a pronoun used as a subject or predicate nominative is followed by an
appositive, the nominative case is still used.

The Objective Case. Use the objective case for a direct object, for an indirect object, or for the
object of a preposition—even if the pronoun has an appositive

The Possessive Case. Use the possessive case for showing that something or someone
belongs to someone else.
