Here's a breakdown:
Objects of Verbs:
* Direct objects: They directly receive the action of the verb.
* Example: "The teacher gave him a high grade." (Him receives the action of "gave")
* Indirect objects: They are indirectly affected by the action of the verb. They often answer the question "to whom?" or "for whom?"
* Example: "She wrote me a letter." (Me indirectly benefits from the action of "wrote")
Objects of Prepositions:
* Prepositions are words like "to," "from," "with," "on," etc. They show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence.
* Example: "The dog ran towards them." (Them is the object of the preposition "towards")
Here are the objective pronouns in English:
* me
* you
* him
* her
* it
* us
* you
* them
Remember: You can test if a pronoun should be in the objective case by substituting a noun. If the noun would be in the objective case, then the pronoun should be as well.
For example:
* "The teacher gave him a high grade." You can substitute "John" for "him." "The teacher gave John a high grade." John is the object of the verb, so "him" is the correct objective pronoun.
