Remember also that
linking verbs like
“is” are not followed
by objects but by predicate nominatives (also called
subject complements) that are not in the objective case but in the nominative Who is he See also
predicate.Objective case. Words that function as
objects (direct object or
indirect object or objects of
prepositions) in
sentences are in the objective (also called accusative)
case.This case is not distinguishable from the
nominative or normal form of nouns but is marked (or in ected) in
pronouns: I, me we, us he, him she, her and “they,
them” (the nominative and objective cases, respectively, of the
personal pronouns).See
inflection.Of. Preposition governing the
objective case: That is not characteristic of him Do not add this
preposition to other prepositions that don’t need
it and can stand on their own (outside, inside, oi Do not use of to stand for “have” in compound verbs like
“could have.”
