Object Pronouns

(me, you, him/her/it, us, them)

For example: "She gave him the book" (not "She gave the book to he"), "They are waiting for us" (not "They are waiting for we").

Object pronouns are words we use to replace a noun that comes after a verb or a preposition. They're called object pronouns because they're the object of the verb or preposition. There are five object pronouns: me, you, him, her, and it. We use these pronouns to make our sentences shorter and clearer.


For example, instead of saying "She gave the book to Maria", we can say "She gave it to her." It's important to remember that object pronouns come after the verb or preposition and take the place of the noun that would normally come after it. We also use object pronouns with reflexive pronouns to show when an action is done to oneself, such as "I washed myself" or "She hurt herself".
