What is a pronoun case?

• Personal pronouns have what is called case.
•  The case means that a different form of a pronoun is used for different parts of the sentence.
• There are three cases:

1. 1. Nominative
   2. Objective
   3. Possessive

Nominative case pronouns

•  They are used as subjects.
• They are I, you, she/ he, it, we, they, and who.

Let’s Practice!

• Najat is a teacher.

⇓

     She is a teacher.

The pronoun “she” is functioning as a replacement to the antecedent “Najat” which is the subject of the sentence in our example. (So, we call it nominative case pronoun.)
