Pronoun Case: Nominative Case
From the UWF Writing Lab’s 101 Grammar Mini-Lessons Series
Mini-Lesson #79Slide2
Within a given sentence, nominative case pronouns (I, we, he, she,
and they) take the place of a noun.
Nominative case pronouns occur in the following positions:
As the subject of the verb
Both the professor and
I
called Jane.
In the predicate after some form of the verb to be
This is
she
.
When to be has no subject and is followed by a pronoun
The
caller
was thought to be
I
. (
I
renames the
caller
.)
As an appositive for a subject
We
women must stick together.
If the subject of a sentence is compound, delete
and
and
the other subject to determine which pronoun to use
Mike and
I have gone fishing. (I have gone fishing.)
