Objective case pronouns

• They are used as direct objects, indirect objects, objects of the preposition.
• They are me, you (singular), her/him/it, us, you (plural) them, and whom.

Let’s Practice!

As a direct object:

• The boy gave three apples to Jasmine.

      ⇒The boy gave them to Jasmine.

 As an indirect object:

• The boy gave Jasmine three apples.

   ⇒The boy gave her three apples.

 As an indirect object of a preposition:

• The boy gave three apples to Jasmine.

     ⇒The boy gave three apples to her.

• You can leave the kids with me and my husband today!

    ⇒You can leave the kids with us today!

Note!

‘You’ and ‘it’ are both nominative and objective cases.

Example 1

• The door is closed.

    ⇒ It is closed.

The pronoun “it” is in nominative case because it replaces the subject “door”.

Example 2

• The boy   closed   the door.

          Subject    Verb   object

    ⇒    The boy closed it.

The pronoun “it” is the objective case because it replaces the object “door”.

The same rule applies to the pronoun ‘You’; it does not change too.
