How are object case pronouns used?

Object case pronouns are used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition. Here's a breakdown:

Direct Object:

* The direct object receives the action of the verb.

* Example: "He gave me the book." (The pronoun "me" is the direct object of the verb "gave")

Indirect Object:

* The indirect object receives the direct object.

* Example: "He gave me the book." (The pronoun "me" is the indirect object; it's who received the book).

Object of a Preposition:

* A preposition connects a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence.

* Example: "He gave the book to me." (The pronoun "me" is the object of the preposition "to").

Object Case Pronouns:

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

* Plural: us, you, them

Important Notes:

* Subject vs. Object: Don't confuse object case pronouns with subject case pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they). Subject case pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the verb.

* Pronoun Placement: The object pronoun comes after the verb or preposition.

* Examples:

* "They invited us to the party." (Object of the verb "invited")

* "The teacher talked to him about his homework." (Object of the preposition "to")
