Objective Case
• Within a given sentence,
objective case pronouns (me,
him, her, us, and them) relate to
other words in various ways.
Objective Case
In each instance, ignore or mentally delete the
conjunction (usually and) and the other object,
noun, or pronoun.
We fed the neighbors and them.
They taught Jill and us a lesson.
She gave the message to him and Mom.
They wanted me and Chris to stay.

Objective Case
• Errors in pronoun case often occur when a
pronoun is used in conjunction with
another noun.
• Examples:
• WRONG: They invited my husband and I for the
weekend.
• RIGHT: They invited my husband and me for the
weekend.
• When the extra words (my husband and) are
omitted, the correct choice is easier to select:
“They invited me for the weekend.”
