An object pronoun functions as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Example sentences:

Jim wasn't in class so I called him with the assignment.

  • The pronoun 'him' takes the place of the noun 'Jim' as the direct object of the verb 'called'.

Today is Jane's birthday. I made her a cake.

  • The pronoun 'her' takes the place of the noun 'Jane" as the indirect object of the verb 'made'.

I bought some flowers and a nice vase for them.

  • The pronoun 'them' takes the place of the noun 'flowers' as the object of the preposition 'for'.

To whom should I give my completed application?

  • The pronoun 'whom' is the objective interrogative pronoun functioning as the object of the preposition'to'.
