The three cases for pronouns are:

Subjective (nominative) pronouns are used only for the subject of a sentences or clause.

Objective pronouns are are used only for the object of a verb or a preposition.

Possessive (genitive) pronouns:

  • a possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something;
  • a possessive adjective is placed before a noun to describe that noun as belonging to someone or something.
