Object pronouns (the objective case) are used as objects of verbs or

prepositions. Some commonly used object pronouns are me, us, you,

him, her, it, and them.

Rachel spoke to her parents and promised to visit them on the
weekend.

The police officer was happy to give directions to Raul and me.

Subject Pronouns

In most instances, you probably use the subject form of the pronoun

correctly without thinking about it. You probably haven’t said, “Me
went to the park” since you were three years old. However, using the

subject form becomes trickier when a compound subject is used. Is it

“Tiffany and her went to the concert” or “Tiffany and she went to the

concert”? Usually, trying the sentence with the pronoun alone will help

you hear the correct answer. Without Tiffany and, the sentence
becomes clear. “She went to the concert” is correct, not “Her went to

the concert.”
