PERSONAL PRONOUNS

SUBJECTIVE FORMS: I, we, she, he, they, it.
OBJECTIVE FORMS: me, us, her, him, them, it.

Rule 1
Subjective forms are used in the subject position (that is, before the verb of a sentence):

They and Kunle came together. ✔️
Him and his friends will perform at the concert. ✖️

Rule 2
Use the objective forms after transitive verbs (that is, verbs that transfer their actions on something or somebody):
They did not tell we about it. ✖️
They did not tell us about it. ✔️
We left they to face it. ✖️
