A Noun or Pronoun that is the Object of a Verb is in the Objective Case, e.g.
1. We saw him. (Saw whom? Him)
2. I broke the pencil. (Broke what? The Pencil)
3. She heard the noise. (Heard what? The Noise)
The Pronoun “him” and the Nouns “pencil” and “noise” are in the Objective Case.
Nouns and Pronouns following Prepositions (i.e. words like to, on, in, over, under, etc.) are also in the Objective Case, e.g.
1. The book is on the table. (On what? The table)
2. The boy is the room. (In what? The room)
3. He came before me. (Before whom? Me)
Note :The Nouns “table” and “room” and the Pronoun “me” are said to be governed by the Prepositions “on”, “in” and “before”.
