What is an Objective Case Pronoun?
An objective case pronoun is a pronoun being used as a direct object, an indirect object, or an object of a preposition. These include me, you, him, her, it, us, and them.
Examples of Objective Case Pronouns
Some examples of objective case pronouns would be the following:

Why You Should Use Objective Case Pronouns in Your Writing
Objective case pronouns (like all pronouns) should be used to avoid repetition and redundancy.
Keep in mind that these are objective case pronouns (as opposed to nominative case pronouns or possessive case pronouns). Objective case pronouns can only be used as the direct object, indirect object, or as the object of a preposition in a sentence.
