Intransitive verbs expressing being

I am learning about transitive and intransitive verbs. I found a note in my grammar text book: Intransitive verbs expressing being take the same cases after them as before them. I did not find any details about this note in my text book. When I checked about this note online I found a usage like this: It was she (not her) who won the first prize. Could you please explain me the details of this note using the some example?
