Final answer:

Subjective case pronouns function as subjects, such as 'I,' 'we,' and 'you.' Objective case pronouns function as objects, such as 'me,' 'us,' and 'you.' Possessive case pronouns show ownership, such as 'my,' 'our,' and 'your.'

Step-by-step explanation:

Pronoun case refers to the grammatical function of the pronoun in a sentence. Subjective case pronouns function as subjects, such as 'I,' 'we,' and 'you.' Objective case pronouns function as objects, such as 'me,' 'us,' and 'you.' Possessive case pronouns show ownership, such as 'my,' 'our,' and 'your.'

For example, in the sentence 'Jasmine and I ordered pizza for dinner,' 'Jasmine and I' is the plural subject, so 'I' is the correct subjective case pronoun. In the sentence 'The pizza was delivered to Jasmine and me,' 'me' is the object of the preposition, so 'me' is the correct objective case pronoun.
