Is case of a pronoun determined by how it is used in sentence?

Yes, the case of a pronoun is determined by how it is used in a sentence. Here's why:

* Pronoun Case: Pronouns have different forms depending on their grammatical function in a sentence. The three main cases are:

* Nominative Case: Used for the subject of a verb (e.g., *I*, *we*, *he*, *she*, *it*, *they*, *who*).

* Objective Case: Used for the object of a verb or preposition (e.g., *me*, *us*, *him*, *her*, *it*, *them*, *whom*).

* Possessive Case: Shows ownership (e.g., *my*, *our*, *his*, *her*, *its*, *their*, *whose*).

* Grammatical Function: The role of a pronoun in a sentence determines which case is correct. For example:

* Subject: *He* went to the store. (Nominative case)

* Object: The dog chased *him*. (Objective case)

* Possessive: That is *her* book. (Possessive case)

Examples:

* Correct: *She* gave *him* the book. (*She* is the subject, *him* is the object)

* Incorrect: *Her* gave *he* the book. (Wrong cases for subject and object)

Remember: Pay attention to how the pronoun is used in the sentence to choose the correct case.
