Main article: English personal pronouns
Ordinary English has seven personal pronouns: first-person singular (I), first-person plural (we), second-person (you), third-person singular masculine (he), third-person singular feminine (she), third-person singular neuter (it), and third-person plural (they). Each pronoun has a number of forms: a subjective case form (I/we/etc.), used when it's the subject of a finite verb; an objective case form (me/us/etc.), used when it's the object of verb or of a preposition; two possessive case forms (my/our/etc. and mine/ours/etc.), used when it's the possessor of another noun — one that's used as a determiner, and one that's used as a pronoun or a predicate adjective; and a reflexive form (myself/ourselves/etc.), which replaces the objective-case form in referring to the same entity as the subject. That said, the different pronouns, and the different forms of the pronouns, often have overlapping functions; see English personal pronouns.

The three cases of pronouns and nouns are: subjective (also called nominative), possessive, and objective.
As for personal pronouns...
For singular personal pronouns, the subjective case is exemplified by "I/you/he/she/it." "My/mine/your/yours/his/her/hers/its" are examples of the possesive case, and "me/you/him/her/it" represents the objective case.
For plural personal pronouns, the subjective case is used in "we/you/they." "Our/ours/they/theirs/your/yours" are the possessive case, and "us/you/them" are the objective case.

first-person :- I, me, myself, mine, my
- we, us, ourselves, ours, our
second-person : you, yourself-yourselves, yours, your
third-person: - he, him, himself, his
- she, her, herself, hers, her
- it, itself, its
- they, them, themselves, theirs, their
1. Historically, my was sometimes changed to mine before a vowel. (Similarly with thy and thine; see note 3.)
2. The forms of we are also sometimes used with a singular sense. When this is the case, they take a plural verb, but ourselves is often changed to ourself.
3. Historically, there were separate informal second-person singular forms — thou, thee, thyself, thy, and thine — but today they have all but disappeared from Standard English (though a few dialects retain them).
4. Historically, you was an object pronoun, and ye was its subject-pronoun counterpart; today, you fills both roles in Standard English, though some dialects use ye for both roles, and some use ye as a clipped or clitic form of you.
5. While formal Standard English uses you for both singular and plural, many dialects use various special forms for the plural, such as y'all (short for "you all"), you guys, yinz (short for "you ones"), and yous (also spelled youse). Corresponding reflexive and possessive pronouns are often used as well.
6. The forms of you are also sometimes used with the sense of the pronoun one; see Generic you.
7. Historically, his was the possessive of it as well of he; nowadays it has been completely supplanted by its.
8. The forms of they are also sometimes used with grammatically or semantically singular antecedents, though it is a matter of some dispute whether and when such usage is acceptable; see Singular they. When this is the case, they take a plural verb, but themselves with a singular sense is often changed to themself.

In English, there are only the nominative, genitive and accusative.
SINGULAR
========
1: nom. I; gen. mine; acc. me.
2: nom. you; gen. yours; acc. you.
3M: nom. he; gen. his; acc. him.
3F: nom. she; gen. hers. acc. her.
3N: nom. it; (gen. its); acc. it.
PLURAL
======
1: nom. we; gen. ours; acc. us.
2: see singular
3: nom. they; gen. theirs; acc. them.
Middle/Early Modern English:
====================
sg 2: nom. thou; gen. thine; acc. thee
pl 2: nom. ye; gen. yours; acc. you
The words my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their, (thy) are not personal pronouns but possessive pronouns.
