What is a pronoun in objective case?

A pronoun in the objective case is used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition. Here's a breakdown:

What is an object?

* Direct Object: Receives the action of a verb. Example: "I saw him." (Him receives the action of "saw")

* Indirect Object: Receives the direct object. Example: "I gave him the book." (Him receives the book)

* Object of a Preposition: Follows a preposition. Example: "I went to the store with him." (Him follows the preposition "with")

Objective Case Pronouns:

* Singular: me, you, him, her, it

* Plural: us, you, them

Examples:

* Direct Object: "The teacher asked me a question."

* Indirect Object: "The teacher gave her a reward."

* Object of a Preposition: "I went to the park with them."

How to Remember:

Think of the objective case as the receiving end of a verb or preposition. The pronoun in the objective case is the one receiving the action or being affected by the preposition.
