Which of the following is an example of a nominative case pronoun?

  1. Us

  2. Them

  3. We

  4. Me

The correct answer is: We

The choice of "We" as an example of a nominative case pronoun is accurate because nominative case pronouns are used as the subjects of sentences. In English grammar, nominative case pronouns include "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they." The pronoun "we" specifically functions as the subject of a verb when referring to a group that includes the speaker. For instance, in the sentence "We are going to the store," "we" clearly serves as the subject performing the action of going. In contrast, the other options provided do not serve as subjects of a sentence. "Us" and "me" are both objective case pronouns, used as objects of verbs or prepositions, while "them" is also an objective case pronoun, signifying that they are not appropriately categorized as nominative case pronouns. Understanding the role of these different pronouns is crucial for proper sentence structure and clarity in communication.
