Master list of all grammatical cases in English
I have been looking for a master list (a corpus) of all grammatical cases in English or the best approximation of it you know of such a list. Preferably with examples.
.
I did find declension and of grammatical cases but the first was just what the title says and the second was not comprehensive and it included many langs. I just need them in English. .
Anything that is not semantic is grammatical and is normed by some rules. I am looking for these rules in English
.
Any help?

Some (not I) would say that English has a dative case, as for instance "me" in "She gave me the book".

[nq:1]2.1 regular verbs (with the exception of jinx ;-)) can be also categorized based on their ending in a voice or voiceless phoneme[/nq]
How does not fall into one of these categories? Do you pronounce it differently from the rest of the English-speaking world?
