Pronoun case refers to the form a pronoun takes depending on its function in a sentence. The three main cases are subjective (nominative), objective, and possessive. Subjective pronouns perform the action (e.g., I, he, she, we, they). Objective pronouns receive the action (e.g., me, him, her, us, them). Possessive pronouns show ownership (e.g., my, mine, his, her, hers, our, ours, their, theirs). Understanding these distinctions is crucial for clear and correct writing.
