1) What are object pronouns?
Object pronouns are 'Me', 'You', 'Him', 'Her', 'It', 'Us', 'You' and 'Them'. They replace the object of a sentence or clause.
Example:
Mary likes Anne. She talks to Anne.
Mary likes Anne. She talks to her.

- You: for the second person singular.
Example:
Anna wants to talk to you.
- Him, Her and It: for the third person singular.
Examples:

He read it.
- Us: for the first person plural.
Example:
She talks to us.
- You: for the second person plural.
Example:
