Objective Case after with(out)/at/to/...

One common mistake in English grammar is the incorrect use of the objective case after prepositions like "with," "without," "at," and "to." These prepositions are often followed by pronouns, and it's important to use the correct objective form of the pronoun in these cases.

Using the Objective Case

When a pronoun is the object of a preposition, it should be in the objective case. This applies to pronouns like "me," "her," "him," "us," and "them." Here are a few examples:

• She went to the store with me, not with I.
• He went to the party without her, not without she.
• The teacher called him, not called he.
• They are going on a trip with us, not with we.
• We should invite them to the event, not invite they.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

One common mistake is using the subjective case instead of the objective case in these situations. For example:

• Incorrect: She went to the store with I.
• Incorrect: He went to the party without she.
• Incorrect: The teacher called he.
• Incorrect: They are going on a trip with we.
• Incorrect: We should invite they to the event.

Remember, it's important to use the objective case after prepositions. If you're unsure which form to use, you can ask yourself: "Did you mean me, her, him, us, or them?"
