Anon, perhaps you mean pronouns?

Nominative: HE loves her.

Objective: She loves HIM

Possessive: She is the object of HIS affections.

Next time, it would be better if you started a new thread when you have a question, rather than just adding to an old one, okay?

I think "whom" is more and more old-fashioned. Today, "who" can be used instead of "whom".
