What is a pronoun in objective case your you mine?

Let's break down the concept of objective case pronouns and how they apply to "you," "your," and "mine."

Objective Case Pronouns

Objective case pronouns are used when the pronoun is the *object* of a verb or preposition. Think of it like this:

* Subject: The person or thing performing the action. (Example: *She* went to the store.)

* Object: The person or thing receiving the action. (Example: He gave the gift to *her*.)

Examples of Objective Case Pronouns

* Me

* You

* Him

* Her

* It

* Us

* Them

How They Apply to "You," "Your," and "Mine"

* You: This is already in the objective case, so you use it directly. (Example: I went to the movies with *you*.)

* Your: This is a possessive pronoun, meaning it shows ownership. It's not an objective case pronoun. (Example: *Your* car is beautiful.)

* Mine: This is a possessive pronoun as well, indicating ownership. It's not an objective case pronoun. (Example: The book on the table is *mine*.)

Key Point: "You" is the only one of these words that can be used as an objective case pronoun.
