Grammatical forms refer to variations of a word based on its function in a sentence. Nominative form is used for subjects, objective for objects, and possessive to show ownership or relationship. These forms help indicate the role of words within a sentence.
'It' is considered a personal pronoun because it can represent a person, animal, or thing being discussed. It functions as the subject or object of a sentence, replacing a noun to avoid repetition and add clarity to the sentence.
The plural form for the pronoun 'it' is 'they' for the subject and 'them' for the object of a sentence or clause; fro example:There is a book on my desk, it is a math book.There are books on my desk, they are math books.There are books on my desk, I just bought them.
Nominative Case The nominative case is the form of a noun or pronoun used in the subject or predicate nominative. In English this is significant only with personal pronouns and the forms of who. Personal pronouns in the nominative case in modern English are I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. The word who is also in the nominative case.
No, the word its is a singular pronoun, the possessive form of "it". The plural form of the possessive pronoun "its" is theirs.The plural form of the possessive adjective "its" is their.

'Meus' can mean 'my' ('Os meus filhos' = 'My sons' or 'My kids'), or it can also mean 'mine' (Estes sapatos são meus' = 'These shoes are mine'), it always depends on how you use the adjective. My = meu, masculine nominative singular. My = minha, feminine nominative singular. My = meus, masculine nominative plural. My = minhas, feminine nominative plural.

The second person personal pronouns: Nominative singular: Thou Nominative plural: Ye Objective singular: Thee Objective plural: You Dating from the Middle Ages in England, the plural form for the second person pronoun began to be used to show respect to superiors, then for equals as a courtesy. As the new world became inhabited by English settlers, these pronouns came with them. Eventually, this practice fell into disuse (perhaps a sign of an evolving culture) except in certain communities in England and Pennsylvania, and among the Quakers. By the beginning of the 20th century, the use of the singular/plural forms had almost disappeared with the exception of some very rural communities and the Quakers. Today, the second person 'you' is used for singular and plural, subjective and objective.
The phrase "you ran to the post office" is not nominative, reflexive, or possessive. It is a simple past tense sentence describing an action (running to the post office) performed by the subject "you."
O wounded son, come quickly to me is the English equivalent of 'O nate vulneratus cito veni ad me'. I will embrace you and lick your wounds is the English equivalent of 'Te amplectabor et vulnera tua lingam'. Would that I might hold you, my heavenly love is the English equivalent of 'Utinam te haberem mi amor caelestis'.In the word by word translation, the interjection 'o' means 'o'. The masculine gender noun 'nate', in the vocative singular of 'natus', means 'son'. The masculine adjective 'vulneratus', in the nominative and vocative singular, means 'wounded'. The adverb 'cito' means 'quickly, speedily'. The verb 'veni', in the imperative of 'venire', means '[you] come'. The preposition 'ad' means 'to, toward'. The personal pronoun 'me', in the first person singular in the accusative of 'ego' as the direct object of the verb, means 'me'.The personal pronoun 'te', as the second person singular in the accusative of 'tu', means 'thee, you'. The verb 'amplectabor', as the first person singular of the future indicative of the infinitive 'amplectare', means '[I] will embrace, love, welcome'. The conjunction 'et' means 'and'. The neuter noun 'vulnera', in the accusative plural of 'vulnus', means 'wounds'. The possessive pronoun 'tua', in the second person singular of the accusative plural of 'tuum', means 'thy, your'.The adverb 'utinam' means 'would that, O that'. The verb 'haberem', as the first person singular of the imperfect subjunctive of the infinitive 'habere', means '[I] might have, hold'. The possessive pronoun 'mi', as the first person singular in the vocative of 'meus', means 'my'. The masculine gender noun 'amor', in the nominative singular, means 'love'. The masculine adjective 'caelestis', in the nominative singular, means 'heavenly'.The word 'natus' is a second declension noun. Second declension nouns that end in '-us' don't have the same forms in the vocative and nominative cases. The vocative ending is '-e', and the nominative '-us'. In contrast, fourth declension nouns that end in '-us' have the same forms in the vocative and nominative cases: the ending remains '-us'.The same rule doesn't tend to apply to adjectives that modify second declension nouns. That's why the Latin phrase above is 'nate vulneratus'. The noun and the adjective are both in the vocative case. But the adjective respects the general rule of vocative and nominative case endings as being the same.But if you want to make an exception with adjectives, you can do so with a possessive. In the Latin sentence above, 'mi amor caelestis' is a vocative phrase. The possessive adjective 'mi' is 'meus' in the nominative case as the subject of the sentence. So if you want to write 'meus' as 'mi', you can do so. But you also can write it as 'meus'. For example, the cry of Jesus Christ [6 B.C.E.-A.D. 30] is found in the Vulgate as, 'Deus meus, Deus meus, quare me dereliquisti [My God, My God, why have you forsaken me]?'
