What are the uses of pronoun in objective case?

Pronouns in the objective case are used when they are the object of a verb or preposition.

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.
