object pronouns

Action's target words

Object pronouns are the forms of personal pronouns used when they receive the action of a verb or follow a preposition: me, you, him, her, it, us, them.

Give it to me, She called him, between you and me.

They contrast with subject pronouns (I, he, she, we, they), which perform the action.

The distinction matters most in formal contexts; casual speech often blurs it: Me and him went instead of He and I went.
