In English, object pronouns replace nouns that receive the action of a verb or follow a preposition. The basic object pronouns are me, you, him, her, it, us, and them. These forms do not change for gender except him and her, and they do not change for singular or plural except you, it, and them. Object pronouns are different from subject pronouns, which are used for the person doing the action.

The main object pronouns in English have stable forms. Use me for the first person singular, you for the second person singular or plural, him for third person singular masculine, her for third person singular feminine, it for third person singular neuter, us for first person plural, and them for third person plural. These forms are used regardless of whether the object is direct or indirect.

An object pronoun functions as a direct object when it receives the action of the verb. In the sentence structure, the object pronoun typically comes after the verb. Use object pronouns to avoid repeating a noun when the receiver of the action is clear from context.

Rule
Use an object pronoun after the verb when it is the direct object.
Choose me, you, him, her, it, us, or them based on who or what receives the action.

An object pronoun functions as an indirect object when it receives something from the action of the verb, often before the direct object. In English, the indirect object can come before the direct object without a preposition, or after the direct object with a preposition like to or for. In both cases, use the same object pronoun forms.

Rule
Use an object pronoun as an indirect object before the direct object without a preposition.
Use an object pronoun after a preposition like to or for when it is the indirect object.

Object pronouns are used after prepositions to show the object of the preposition. Common prepositions include to, for, with, from, about, and between. The pronoun form does not change based on the preposition; it remains me, you, him, her, it, us, or them.

Rule
Use an object pronoun immediately after a preposition.
The form of the object pronoun does not change depending on the preposition.

Object pronouns in English are me, you, him, her, it, us, and them. They are used when a noun receives the action of a verb or follows a preposition. The same forms apply to direct objects, indirect objects, and objects of prepositions. Choosing the correct pronoun depends on person, number, and, for him and her, gender.
