What are some objective pronouns?

Here are some objective pronouns, along with examples of how they're used:

Singular:

* me: The dog chased *me* down the street.

* you: She gave *you* the book.

* him: The teacher helped *him* with his homework.

* her: I gave *her* a gift.

* it: The cat watched *it* with interest.

Plural:

* us: The team cheered for *us*.

* you: I sent *you* an email.

* them: We gave *them* the directions.

Important Note: Objective pronouns are used as the object of a verb or preposition.

Examples:

* Verb: The children saw *him* at the park. (Him is the object of the verb "saw")

* Preposition: The dog ran towards *me*. (Me is the object of the preposition "towards")

Other Considerations:

* Reflexive pronouns: These pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person or thing. Examples include *myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves*.

* Possessive pronouns: These pronouns show ownership or possession. They are not objective pronouns. Examples include *mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs*.
