Object pronouns are used as the object of a verb or preposition in a sentence. They replace nouns that are the objects of sentences, or that receive the action of the verb. Object pronouns can also be used after prepositions.
Here are the object pronouns in English:
me (used after verbs or prepositions): Give me the book. The book is for me.
you (used after verbs or prepositions): Can you help me? This is for you.
him (used after verbs or prepositions): I saw him at the store. This is for him.
her (used after verbs or prepositions): She gave it to her. I talked to her.
it (used after verbs or prepositions): The cat chased it. I found it.
us (used after verbs or prepositions): They gave us a ride. This is for us.
them (used after verbs or prepositions): I called them. This is for them.
Object pronouns differ from subject pronouns in that they are used as the objects of a sentence or preposition, rather than as the subjects. For example, in the sentence "He hit the ball to me," "he" is the subject, while "me" is the object pronoun, since it is the object of the preposition "to."
