What is a obective case pronoun?

An objective case pronoun is a pronoun that acts as the object of a verb or preposition.

Here's a breakdown:

* Pronoun: A word that replaces a noun (e.g., he, she, it, they, us, etc.).

* Object: The noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb or the focus of a preposition.

* Verb: A word that describes an action or state of being.

* Preposition: A word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence (e.g., on, in, to, from, with, etc.).

Examples of Objective Case Pronouns:

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

* You: "I gave the book to *you*." (object of the preposition "to")

* Him: "She saw *him* at the store." (object of the verb "saw")

* Her: "I wrote a letter to *her*." (object of the preposition "to")

* It: "He found *it* on the floor." (object of the verb "found")

* Us: "The teacher called *us* to the front." (object of the verb "called")

* Them: "We helped *them* with their homework." (object of the verb "helped")

Key Points:

* Objective case pronouns are used after action verbs and prepositions.

* They indicate that the pronoun is receiving the action or being acted upon.

* In English, there are different objective case pronouns for different subjects (e.g., *me* vs. *him* vs. *them*).
