Number and case forms of pronouns.
Number:Personal and demonstrative pronouns have two number forms: singular and plural.*
Personal: I — we; you — you; he, she, it — they
Demonstrative: this — these; that — those**
Case:The personal pronouns and the interrogative or connective pronoun "who" have two cases: the nominative case and the objective case.**
Nominative: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they; who
Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them; whom
The negative pronoun "nobody" and the indefinite pronouns "everybody", "somebody", "anybody" have the common case and the genitive case; their use is similar to the use of cases in nouns.
nobody — nobody's; somebody — somebody's;
everybody — everybody's; anybody — anybody's.
