		The subjective case is the term preferred by English grammarians for the nominative case.
		Generally, when the term subjective case is used, the accusative and dative are collectively labelled as the objective case.
		The genitive case is then usually called the possessive form and often is not considered as a noun case per se; English is then said to have two cases, the subjective and the objective.

	Science and Sociology by Max Weber
		A motive is a complex of subjective meaning which seems to the actor himself or to the observer an adequate ground for the conduct in question.
		We apply the term “adequacy on the level of meaning” to the subjective interpretation of a coherent course of conduct when and insofar as, according to our habitual modes of thought and feeling, its component parts taken in their mutual relation are recognised to constitute a “typical” complex of meaning.
		But for the subjective interpretation of action in sociological work these collectivities must be treated as solely the resultants and modes of organisation of the particular acts of individual persons, since these alone can be treated as agents in a course of subjectively understandable action.

	Learn English - English Grammar - Case
		You cannot really go wrong here, we have shed most of our cases and as a result English is easier than many other languages because nouns and some indefinite pronouns (anyone, someone, everyone, and so on) only have a distinctive case form for the possessive.
		In nouns the first two cases (subjective and objective) are indistinguishable, and are called the common case.
		One result of this simplicity is that, the sense of case being almost lost, the few mistakes that can be made are made often, even by native speakers, some of them so often that they are now almost right by prescription.
