	Objective (grammar) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An objective pronoun in grammar functions as the target of a verb, as distinguished from a subjective pronoun, which is the initiator of a verb.
		Objective pronouns are instances of the oblique case.
		Several relatively common usages of objective pronouns in the subject position are regarded as errors by prescriptivists, though descriptive grammarians and linguists class such usages as dialect and a natural part of language evolution.

	Pronouns
		A possessive pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as a marker of possession.
		The demonstrative pronouns are ``this,'' ``that,'' ``these,'' and ``those.'' ``This'' and ``that'' are used to refer to singular nouns or noun phrases and ``these'' and ``those'' are used to refer to plural nouns and noun phrases.
		Pronouns and verbs must agree in number, so this is testing proper use of singular and plural personal pronouns.

	Pronouns
		When the relative pronoun serves as the object of the preposition, it is always in the objective case (whom).
		The clause involving the relative pronoun is part of the prepositional phrase beginning with "for." However the relative pronoun does not serve simply as the object of this preposition.
		This pronoun belongs to the clause "that the culprit was she." In this clause, "culprit" is the subject and "she" is the subject complement.

	Edward Sapir. 1921. Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech
		The only distinctively objective forms which we still possess in English are me, him, her (a little blurred because of its identity with the possessive her), us, them, and whom.
		In all other cases the objective has come to be identical with the subjective—that is, in outer form, for we are not now taking account of position in the sentence.
		It is psychologically unsound to draw the line of form cleavage between whom and the personal pronouns on the one side, the remaining interrogative and relative pronouns on the other.

	What Is A Pronoun?
		An objective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as an object of a verb, compound verb, preposition, or infinitive phrase.
		The objective personal pronoun "her" is the direct object of the verb "forced" and the objective personal pronoun "him" is the object of the preposition "with."
		An intensive pronoun is a pronoun used to emphasise its antecedent.

		Pronouns can appear in a variety of different forms, depending on how they function in a sentence.
		Because pronouns stand for or take the place of nouns, it is important that you make it clear in your writing which pronouns stand for which nouns.

		This is particularly a problem with the nominative (or subjective) pronouns and the objective pronouns, which perform entirely different roles in a sentence.
		The nominative pronouns âI,â âyou,â âhe,â âshe,â âit,â âwe,â and âtheyâ do the action of the verb or act as the subject of a sentence, while the objective pronouns âme,â âyou,â âhim,â âher,â âit,â âus,â and âthemâ receive the action of the verb or act as the object of a sentence.
		As a rule, a nominative pronoun can be freely combinedâ”âcompoundedâ is the more precise grammatical termâ”with a noun or another nominative pronoun to jointly perform the action of the verb or to act as the compound subject of a sentence.

		Personal pronouns are pronouns often used as substitutes for proper or common nouns.
		In French, pronouns include tu, vous, ils, elles, lui, toi, moi, etc. There are different pronouns used for different genders and numbers of people, and unlike English where "them" and "they" are used for every object whether it is masculine or feminine, in French the plural forms vary according to gender.
		In some languages, a pronoun is required whenever a noun or noun phrase needs to be referenced, and sometimes even when no such antecedent exists (cf the dummy pronoun in English it rains).

		PRONOUN CASE is really a very simple matter.
		Use the objective form after a form of the verb to be for informal uses only.
		Thus, if your write “it’s,” what you have written is the contraction, “it is,” not the possessive form of the pronoun, “it.” The possessive form of the pronoun “it” is “its.” Study the possessive forms of pronouns to avoid making mistakes with them.

	Pronoun Usage
		Hint: When a pronoun functions as ANY sort of object in a sentence, always use the objective case.
		Other pronouns used with indefinite pronouns ending in “body” must be singular in number.
		Only use reflexive pronouns to add emphasis (intensive pronouns) or to refer to the subject in the sentence.

	Lesson Tutor : Lesson Plan for Reflexive Tense and Pronouns
		First, there are no such words as "hisself" or "theirselves." The correct reflexive forms for "him" and "them" use the objective case and become "himself" and "themselves." A good way to remember this is that the word "remember" has "m's" in it.
		It IS correct, however, to use reflexive pronouns in objective case instances such as indirect object or direct object.
		I like the simplicity of still calling it a reflexive pronoun and then indicating an alternate use because it is easier for high school and beginning college students to understand.
