What groups of pronouns are use in the objective case?

Pronouns used in the objective case are those that receive the action of a verb or are the object of a preposition. Here's a breakdown:

Objective Case Pronouns:

* Direct Object: The pronoun directly receives the action of the verb.

* Example: "The teacher gave *me* a good grade." (*me* is the direct object of the verb "gave")

* Indirect Object: The pronoun receives the indirect benefit of the action.

* Example: "She gave *him* a book." (*him* is the indirect object of the verb "gave")

* Object of a Preposition: The pronoun follows a preposition.

* Example: "They went to the store with *her*." (*her* is the object of the preposition "with")

List of Objective Case Pronouns:

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

* Plural: us, you, them

Important Notes:

* The pronoun "you" is the same in both the subjective and objective cases.

* The pronouns "who" and "whom" are used for people. "Who" is used for the subject of the verb or clause, while "whom" is used for the object.

* Pronouns should agree with their antecedents in number and gender.

Examples:

* Direct Object: The dog chased *him*.

* Indirect Object: She gave *us* a tour.

* Object of a Preposition: He sat next to *her*.
