What are singluar and plural objective pronouns?

Let's break down singular and plural objective pronouns:

Objective Pronouns

Objective pronouns are used when the pronoun is the *object* of a verb or preposition. Think of it as the pronoun receiving the action.

Singular Objective Pronouns:

* me

* you

* him

* her

* it

Plural Objective Pronouns:

* us

* you

* them

Examples:

* Singular: "The dog chased me." (Me is the object of the verb "chased")

* Plural: "She gave the toys to us." (Us is the object of the preposition "to")

Key Points:

* Subject vs. Object: Don't confuse objective pronouns with subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they). Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the *doer* of the action.

* "I" vs. "Me": A common mistake is using "I" when "me" should be used. Remember, use "me" when the pronoun is the object.
