Use the drop-down menus to identify the case of the underlined pronoun in each example.(subjective, objective or possessive)

Katie’s dog likes to swim. Mathew’s dog doesn’t. Hers is in the water now.

The dogs waited patiently. Katie and Mathew usually walked them after dinner.

At the end of the day, the dogs were tired. They went to bed.

1. Hers - possessive case

2. them - objective case

3. they - subjective case

Explanation:

In grammar, the case is a form that a noun/pronoun takes in a sentence, which is determined by its function in a sentence. If a noun/pronoun is the subject of a sentence, its case is subjective. This can be seen in the third example, where 'they' is the subject of the sentence "They went to bed."  Similarly, if it is the object of the sentence, the case is objective (as "them" in the second sentence). When it possesses something, its case is possessive. Possessive case pronouns are  "mine," "yours," "his," "hers" (as in the first sentence), "its," "ours," and "theirs."

it wants you to read whatever it gave you. then compare it to the others you read. you need to use textual evidence, and cite anything you do!

hope this !

in   ¨and yet the books¨   by czelaw miloz the tone is positive since it tells us that when we touch a book, it starts to live and the perspective is in the third person and turns once into the first person. in "the rhinoceros" by eugene ionesco the tone is illogical and absurd   and the perspective is in the third person since it is a play.
