Pronouns · CEFR A1 · Starting
Object pronouns are me, you, him, her, it, us and them. Use them as the object of a verb or after a preposition: “Please call me.” “This message is for her.” Subject pronouns do a different job: “She called me.”

Say who something was done to.
In Hindi
क्रिया या preposition के बाद सर्वनाम का रूप बदल जाता है — I से me, he से him।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The subject performs the action. An object can be the person or thing the action affects. The same person can have different pronoun forms in different sentences.
He helped me. I thanked him.
After words such as “with”, “for” and “to”, choose the object form, including when two people are named.
The invitation is for Riya and me.
“You” and “it” can be either subjects or objects. Their position and role tell you how they are used. “They” and “them” can also refer to one person.
You know them. They know you.
