In English
An oblique/objective case appears in the English personal pronouns; these forms are often called object pronouns. One can observe how the first person pronoun me serves a variety of grammatical functions:
- in an accusative role for a direct object:
-
- She bit me!
- in a dative role for an indirect object:
-
- Give me the rubber hose!
- as the object of a preposition:
-
- Stop spitting on me!
- and as a disjunctive topic marker:
-
- Me, I like French.
- I like him. —Hey, me too.
- with a copula:
-
- Who is it? —It's me.
- with a conjunction (informal/deprecated):
-
- Me and him are going to the store.
- in a genitive case role (dialectical):
-
- That's me tractor you's stealin'.
The pronoun me is not inflected differently in any of these uses; it is used for all grammatical relationships except the genitive case of possession (in standard English) and a non-disjunctive nominative case as the subject.

Famous quotes containing the word english:
“His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The boneless quality of English conversation, which, so far as I have heard it, is all form and no content. Listening to Britons dining out is like watching people play first-class tennis with imaginary balls.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
