In grammar, case indicates the differing functions of nouns and pronouns in their sentences. In English, six pronouns have one form when they are the subject of the verb, and a different form when they are either objects of the verb or governed by a preposition. The six are: I/me, he/him, she/her, we/us, they/them, who/whom. See accusative case, nominative case.
