Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze personal pronouns by case (nominative, objective, possessive), person (1st, 2nd, 3rd), and number (singular, plural).

(1) Nominative Case (subject/predicate nominative)

• 1st Person Singular: \( I \) (subject form)
• 1st Person Plural: \( we \) (subject form)
• 2nd Person Singular: \( you \) (subject form)
• 2nd Person Plural: \( you \) (subject form, plural "you")
• 3rd Person Singular: \( he, she, it \) (subject forms)
• 3rd Person Plural: \( they \) (subject form)

(2) Objective Case (direct/indirect object, object of preposition, objective complement)

• 1st Person Singular: \( me \) (object form)
• 1st Person Plural: \( us \) (object form)
• 2nd Person Singular: \( you \) (object form)
• 2nd Person Plural: \( you \) (object form, plural "you")
• 3rd Person Singular: \( him, her, it \) (object forms)
• 3rd Person Plural: \( them \) (object form)

(3) Possessive Case (shows ownership; some function as pronouns, others as adjectives)

• 1st Person Singular (pronoun): \( mine \); (adjective) \( my \)
• 1st Person Plural (pronoun): \( ours \); (adjective) \( our \)
• 2nd Person Singular (pronoun): \( yours \); (adjective) \( your \)
• 2nd Person Plural (pronoun): \( yours \); (adjective) \( your \) (plural "your")
• 3rd Person Singular (pronoun): \( his, hers, its \); (adjective) \( his, her, its \)
• 3rd Person Plural (pronoun): \( theirs \); (adjective) \( their \)

Answer:

(1) Nominative Case Personal Pronouns

	Singular	Plural
2nd Person	\( you \)	\( you \)
3rd Person	\( he, she, it \)	\( they \)

(2) Objective Case Personal Pronouns

	Singular	Plural
2nd Person	\( you \)	\( you \)
3rd Person	\( him, her, it \)	\( them \)

(3) Possessive Case Personal Pronouns

	Singular (Pronoun/Adjective)	Plural (Pronoun/Adjective)
2nd Person	\( yours \)/\( your \)	\( yours \)/\( your \)
3rd Person	\( his, hers, its \)/\( his, her, its \)	\( theirs \)/\( their \)
