Here's a breakdown:
1. Direct Objects:
* They receive the action of the verb.
* Example: "The teacher gave me a good grade." (Me is the direct object of the verb "gave.")
2. Indirect Objects:
* They indicate to whom or for whom the action of the verb is performed.
* Example: "My parents bought him a new bike." (Him is the indirect object of the verb "bought.")
3. Objects of Prepositions:
* They follow prepositions like "to," "for," "with," "from," etc.
* Example: "The dog ran towards us." (Us is the object of the preposition "towards.")
Here's a table summarizing the objective case pronouns:
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| Me | Us |
| You | You |
| Him | Them |
| Her | Them |
| It | Them |
Remember:
* The objective case is used when the pronoun is the receiver of the action or the target of a preposition.
* In formal writing, it's important to use the correct case for pronouns.
