Pronoun Case

Personal pronouns have different forms (cases), depending on how they are used in sentences.

Would you say, "Me went to the market"? If not, what would you say?

This chart of personal pronouns shows three forms (or cases) of personal pronouns.

Cases of Personal Pronouns
Subjective (nominative) Objective Possessive
I Me my, mine
1st person
We Us our, ours
2nd person You You your, yours
He Him his
She Her her, hers
3rd person
They them their, theirs
It It its

Determining the pronoun case: Locate and underline the verb twice. What is the subject of the verb? If it's a
pronoun, it must be in the subjective case. If the pronoun is an object (direct or indirect object or object of a
preposition), it must be in the objective case.
