1. THE OBJECT PRONOUNS
Object pronoun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In linguistics, an object pronoun is a personal pronoun that is used typically as a
grammatical object: the direct or indirect object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.

2. Object pronouns contrast with subject pronouns. Object pronouns in English take the
objective case, sometimes called the oblique case or object case.[1]
For example, the
English object pronoun me is found in "They see me" (direct object), "He's giving me my
book" (indirect object), and "Sit with me" (object of a preposition); this contrasts with the
subject pronoun in "I see them," "I am getting my book," and "I am sitting here."
The English personal and interrogative pronouns have the following subject and object
forms:
Subject
pronoun
Object
pronoun
I me
he him
she her
it
we us
you
they them
who (whom)
what
In some languages the direct object pronoun and the indirect object pronoun have separate
forms. For example in Spanish, direct object: Lomandaron a la escuela (They sent him to
school) and indirect object: Lemandaronunacarta (They sent him a letter). Other languages
divide object pronouns into a larger variety of classes. On the other hand, many languages,
for example Persian, do not have distinct object pronouns: Man Farsi baladam (I can speak
Persian). Be manmidanad. (He knows me).
