What is the difference between "him" and "her"?

[Deepak]

I'm a bit confused about when to use "him" and "her" in a sentence. Can someone explain the difference with simple examples?

“Him” and “her” are third-person singular pronouns used to refer to people, but they differ by gender:

• Him – refers to a male. Example: “I gave the book to him.”
• Her – refers to a female. Example: “I gave the book to her.”

Both are object pronouns, meaning they are used as the receiver of an action in a sentence, not the doer.

“Him” and “her” are object pronouns used when referring to people. “Him” refers to a male person receiving an action, while “her” refers to a female person. For example: “I saw him at the store,” versus “I helped her with homework.” Both pronouns replace proper nouns to avoid repetition and clarify who the speaker is addressing or discussing.

Him” and “her” are pronouns used to refer to people. “Him” refers to a male, while “her” refers to a female. Both are object pronouns, used as the object of a verb or preposition, not as the subject of a sentence.

Him” and “her” are both pronouns, but “him” refers to a male person, while “her” refers to a female person. They are used as object pronouns in sentences to identify whom an action is directed toward.
