Grammar Explanation

While this does not involve further verb conjugations, it is yet another form for pronouns.Often it is helpful to show the students a chart of these forms:
 

	singular	plural
first person	I - me	we - us
second person	you - you	you - you
third person	he - him she - her it - it	they - them

These appear after transitive verbs and in prepositional phrases (and some other, very difficult to explain places like "Who, me?").  Note that they also appear as the indirect object of many verbs:

She gives me a birthday present every year.
We told them our secret.
