Object Pronouns:
An object pronoun is a type of personal pronoun that is normally used as a grammatical object,
either as the direct or indirect object of a verb, or as the object of a preposition. The seven basic
pronouns take on different forms when used as object pronouns rather than as subject pronouns:
I becomes Me
You becomes You (this rule applies for singular and plural use)
He becomes Him
She becomes Her
It becomes It
We becomes Us
They becomes Them
Here are some examples:
1) We gave them the money.
2) He knows me well.
3) She sees them on the bus.
4) He teaches us Math.
5) What is the matter with her today?
6) I explain the lesson to you every day.
7) We will divide the money between us.
8) She sent me a lot of presents.
9) He always helps me with my homework.
10) You need to talk with them.
