Hint:
- The nouns or pronouns that act as an object in a sentence are known as the objective case.
- When something is done to (or offered to, etc.) others, the objective case is used.
- When used in the objective case, a pronoun can take on a different form than when used in the subjective case.

Complete answer:
The objective case is made up of nouns or pronouns that are used as the sentence's subject. Specific objects, relative objects, and objects of a preposition are the objective examples. The shape of a noun does not shift when it is used in the objective case. Find the following example:
We took Ram for a spin( spin is the direct object)
In the objective case, a pronoun can take a different form than in the subjective case.
I -> me is an example of a pronoun with a particular objective form.
us -> we
he -> him
She ->her
Examples of pronouns in the objective case are:
The bus would pick you up in the evening. (object is direct)
The principal gave her the application. ('application' is the direct object)
Relatives came to visit and brought the toys with them. (preposition’s object)
To whom do I give my uncompleted assignment. (preposition’s object)
You can bring your sister with you. (the main subject is ‘you’ and prepositions’ object is also ‘you’)

Note: The objective case is also known as an oblique case and these objective cases generally dominate personal pronouns. In an objective case the object can be:
1) Direct object – When a noun or pronoun exists as a direct object, the word on which the verb is acting upon is called a direct object. For example, She likes pizza.
2) Indirect object – Secondary object in the sentence is referred to as indirect object; Indirect object receives activity from a direct object. For example, Rohan felt his heart beat faster.
3) Object of a preposition – When a noun or pronoun comes after a preposition. For example, He is standing beside me.
