Direct Objects:
* The verb acts directly on the object.
* Example: "The teacher gave me a high grade." (Me is the direct object of the verb "gave")
Indirect Objects:
* The object receives the direct object.
* Example: "The teacher gave me a high grade." (Me is the indirect object, receiving the direct object "a high grade")
Objects of Prepositions:
* The pronoun follows a preposition.
* Example: "The teacher gave a high grade to me." (Me is the object of the preposition "to")
Here's a handy table of objective case pronouns:
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| me | us |
| you | you |
| him | them |
| her | them |
| it | them |
Examples:
* Direct Object: "The dog chased him."
* Indirect Object: "She gave him a book."
* Object of Preposition: "The cat jumped on me."
Important Note: Don't confuse the objective case with the nominative (subjective) case, which is used for the subject of a sentence.
Incorrect: "Me went to the store." (Me is the subject, so it should be "I")
Correct: "I went to the store."
