In English? There's first the nominative which is used before verbs (I, he, we, etc.) Then there's what's usually called the objective, which is actually a combination of accusative or dative in other languages. This is used as the object of a verb or preposition (me, him, her, us). The third is possessive (my, your, our, their).

I was an English major eons ago, but I can only think of two--subjective used in the subject of a sentence (e.g. I, he, she, you, we, they) and objective used in the predicate or as the object of a preposition (e.g. me, him, her, you, us, them). I guess possessive (yours, ours, his, hers, mine, theirs, etc.) might be considered a "case," but I am not sure.
