===Subjective case=== English is now often described as having a '''subjective case''', instead of a nominative, to draw attention to the differences between the "standard" generic nominative and the way that it is used in English.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/personal-pronoun#personal-pronoun__5 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130630085208/http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/personal-pronoun#personal-pronoun__5 |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 30, 2013 |title=Personal pronoun |work=Oxford Dictionaries |publisher=Oxford University Press |access-date=2016-01-29 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = Grammar Handbook Β« Writers Workshop: Writer Resources Β« The Center for Writing Studies, Illinois|url = http://www.cws.illinois.edu/workshop/writers/nouncase/|website = www.cws.illinois.edu|access-date = 2015-09-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = What Is the Subjective Case?

The [[genitive case]] is then usually called the ''possessive'' form, rather than a noun case ''per se''. English is then said to have two cases: the subjective and the objective.
