Object Pronouns after Prepositions

Use me, him, her, us, them after a preposition.

Examples

  • This gift is for her.
  • Sit next to me.

Key rules

  • After a preposition use object pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
  • Wrong: for I, with he, to she
  • Also after verbs and in short answers (Who is it? Me.)
  • My, your, his are possessive and cannot replace object pronouns

Common mistakes

  • This is for she → This is for her
  • Come with I → Come with me
💡 Tip: If a pronoun follows a preposition, use the object form.
