An objective case pronoun is a pronoun being used as a direct

object, an indirect object, or an object of a preposition. These

include me, you, him, her, it, us, and them.

Objective Pronouns
An objective pronoun acts as the object of a sentence?it receives the
action of the verb. The objective pronouns are her, him, it, me, them,
us, and you.

Cousin Eldred gave me a trombone.

Take a picture of him, not us!

What is the Objective Case?

The objective case refers to when a noun or pronoun is used as an
object. The object may be a direct object, indirect object, or object of a
preposition.

Possessive Pronouns
A possessive pronoun tells you who owns something. The possessive
pronouns are hers, his, its, mine, ours, theirs, and yours.

The red basket is mine.

Yours is on the coffee table.
Objective Case and Direct Objects

What are direct objects? A

direct object receives the verb. The subject does the transitive verb to
the direct object.
Direct objects may be nouns or pronouns. If they are personal pronouns,
the direct object will change to the personal pronoun objective case.
Note: Direct objects only follow transitive verbs, not linking verbs.
Examples:
 Sam filled the cup.
 Subject: Sam
 Transitive verb: filled
 Direct object: the cup (noun)
 Sam filled it.
 Subject: Sam
 Transitive verb: filled
 Direct object: it (pronoun)
 Sam loves her.
 Subject: Sam
 Transitive verb: loves
 Direct object: her (personal pronoun in objective case)
Objective Case and Indirect Objects

What are indirect objects? An

indirect object is the noun that receives the direct object. The subject
does the transitive verb to the direct object and the indirect object
receives the direct object.
To find an indirect object, ask who or what received the direct object.
Indirect objects may be nouns or pronouns. If they are personal
pronouns, the indirect object will change to the personal pronoun
objective case.

Examples:
 He told Sarah a lie.
 Subject: He
 Transitive verb: told
 Direct object: a lie
 Indirect object: Sarah (noun)
 Shannon sent me a message.
 Subject: Shannon
 Transitive verb: sent
 Direct object: a message
 Indirect object: me (personal pronoun in objective case)
 Indirect Object. The indirect object of a sentence is the
recipient of the direct object. For example:
 I wrote him a letter.
("Him" is the indirect object of the verb "wrote", i.e., the
recipient of "a letter," which is the direct object. "Him" is
the objective-case version of "he.")

Summary: What is the English Objective
Case?
Define objective case: the definition of objective case is the case
denoting the person or thing acted upon. This is contrasted with the
person of thing “doing” the action.
In summary,
 The objective case refers to nouns that are objects.
 Those objects may be direct objects, indirect objects, or objects of
prepositions.
 In English, personal pronouns change when in the objective case.
 Subject of an Infinitive
 While the word subject in grammar normally applies to a sentence, it is
possible for an infinitive to have a subject.
  When an infinitive or an infinitive phrase follows certain verbs, the action of
the infinitive may be done by a different person or thing than the subject of the
sentence. This doer of the infinitive's action follows the verb and comes before
the infinitive. This is known as the subject of the infinitive.
 Keep in mind that when an infinitive follows a verb, sometimes the word to is
dropped from the infinitive.
 A personal pronoun is in the objective case when it is a subject of the infinitive.
 Examples: We wanted Bill to go to the airport.
 Simon helped me to record the data.
 No one saw the prisoner escape.
 Simon helped me record the data.

Pronouns as subjects of infinitives

When a pronoun is the subject of an infinitive (the basic verb with to: to swim, to drive,
etc.), use the objective case for the pronoun. Your ear will tell you the objective case
(not the subjective case) is correct.

He wanted her to drive the car.NOT He wanted she to drive the car.

Brad asked them to leave early.NOT Brad asked they to leave early.             

An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun that refers to an unspecified or

unidentified person or thing
Indefinite pronouns include quantifiers (some, any, enough, several

Singular Indefinite Pronouns

Most indefinite pronouns take singular verbs, either because they
represent one thing or because they are collective, and, like collective
nouns, agree with singular verbs and pronouns. For example:

 Neither of us is available for the committee.

 Each member of the family has the flu.
 Everyone works well together.
 Someone came into the room looking for her water bottle.
 Everybody kept the information on the surprise to him or herself.
 Either option presents its own challenges.
Plural and Variable Indefinite Pronouns
Plural indefinite pronouns take plural verbs. For example:

 Both of us match the description. 

 Many were hoping for a better outcome.
 Few were optimistic about this ballgame.

Variable indefinite pronouns (all, any, more, most, none, some) can go

with either a plural or a singular verb, based on what noun they're
talking about. Can you count what's being talked about? Then use a
plural verb. For example:

 Most employees are getting a raise. 

 All the ice is gone.
 Some ice cubes are in that cooler. 
 Any experience is beneficial to the job. 
 Some of his sadness practically feels tangible.

Reciprocal Pronouns
We use reciprocal pronouns when each of two or more subjects is
acting in the same way towards the other. For example, A is talking to
B, and B is talking to A. So we say:

 A and B are talking to each other.

The action is "reciprocated".

Look at these examples:

 John and Mary love each other.

 Peter and David hate each other.
 The ten prisoners were all blaming one another
  The students congratulated one another after giving practice
speeches.

The relative pronouns are "that," "which," "who," "whom," and

"whose."

A relative pronoun is used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun.

The clause modifies or describes the  noun.

When and Where as Relative Pronouns

Occasionally, the relative adverbs when and where are also used as relative

pronouns. As a relative pronoun, when introduces clauses that describe a
noun that refers to a time, and where refers to a place. Check out a few
different sentence examples.

 Grandma remembers a time when  radio shows were popular.

 She remembered the day when they met.
 The office where I work is in this building.

Mistakes Using Relative Pronouns

Who vs. That

One of the most common mistakes in writing is to use the wrong relative pronoun, particularly
when it comes to mixing up who and that. Who is always used to set up a relative clause that
describes a person, while that is used to describe an object or non-human things.

 I like the girl who runs fast.

 I like the boy who is in my class.
 The woman, who is very old, took a nap.
 I like the dog that does tricks
 I like the clock that chimes the hour.
Which vs. That

Another common error is to mix up that and which. When describing objects and non-human
beings, that is used to introduce a defining relative clause (essential information and requires no
additional punctuation), while which is used to introduce a non-defining clause (non-essential
information set off by commas). See a few different examples.

 The cat, which is very old, took a nap.

 The hampster, which was in the cage, was running on the wheel.
 The phone, which was ringing, was in my bedroom.
 The cat that is very old needs to see the vet today.
 The cells that we had tested came back as benign.
 Here are some cookies that everyone can eat.
 relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is
called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that its
relative clause modifies. Here is an example:

 The person who phoned me last night is my teacher.

Two kinds of relative clause

There are two kinds of relative clause:

1.  We use relative clauses to make clear which person or thing
we are talking about:
Marie Curie is the woman  who discovered radium.
This is the house  which Jack built.
In this kind of relative clause, we can use that instead
of  who or which:
Marie Curie is the woman  that discovered radium.
This is the house  that Jack built.
We can leave out the pronoun if it is the object of the relative
clause:
This is the house  that  Jack built.  (that is the object of  built)
 Be careful!

The relative pronoun is the subject/object of the relative clause, so

we do not repeat the subject/object:
Marie Curie is the woman  who  she discovered radium.
(who is the subject of discovered, so we don't need she)
This is the house  that Jack built  it.
(that is the object of built, so we don't need  it)

2.  We also use relative clauses to give more information about a

person, thing or situation:
Lord Thompson,  who is 76, has just retired.
We had fish and chips,  which I always enjoy.
I met Rebecca in town yesterday,  which was a nice surprise.
With this kind of relative clause, we use commas (,) to separate it
from the rest of the sentence.

Be careful!

In this kind of relative clause, we cannot use that:

Lord Thompson,  who is 76, has just retired.
(NOT Lord Thompson,  that is 76, has just retired.)
and we cannot leave out the pronoun:
We had fish and chips,  which I always enjoy.
 Be careful!

(NOT We had fish and chips,  I always enjoy.)

whose and whom

We use whose as the possessive form of who:

This is George,  whose brother went to school with me.
We sometimes use whom as the object of a verb or preposition:
This is George, whom  you met at our house last year.
(whom is the object of met)
This is George’s brother,  with whom I went to school.
(whom is the object of with)
but nowadays we normally use who:
This is George,  who you met at our house last year.
This is George’s brother,  who I went to school with.
Relative pronouns 5

Relative pronouns with prepositions

When who(m) or which have a preposition, the preposition can

come at the beginning of the clause:
I had an uncle in Germany,  from who(m)  I inherited a bit of
money.
We bought a chainsaw,  with which  we cut up all the wood.
or at the end of the clause:
I had an uncle in Germany,  who(m) I inherited a bit of
money  from.
We bought a chainsaw,  which  we cut all the wood up with.
But when that has a preposition, the preposition always comes
at the end:
I didn't know the uncle  that  I inherited the money  from.
We can't find the chainsaw  that  we cut all the wood up with.
Relative pronouns 6

when  and  where

We can use when with times and where with places to make it

clear which time or place we are talking about:
England won the World Cup in 1966. It was  the year  when  we got
married.
I remember my twentieth birthday. It was  the day  when  the
tsunami happened.
Do you remember  the place  where  we caught the train?
Stratford-upon-Avon is  the town  where Shakespeare was born.
We can leave out when:
England won the World Cup in 1966. It was the  year  we got
married.
I remember my twentieth birthday. It was the  day  the
tsunami  happened.
We often use quantifiers and numbers with relative pronouns: 

all of which/whom most of which/whom many of which/whom

lots of which/whom a few of which/whom none of which/whom

 one of which/whom two of which/whom etc.

She has three brothers,  two of whom  are in the army.

I read three books last week,  one of which  I really enjoyed.
There were some good programmes on the radio,  none of which I
listened to.
