What part of speech is “him”
Pronoun
Definition:
the word 'him' is a pronoun that is used to identify a person (e.g., Is he with him?). It can also be used as a third-person singular pronoun when the gender of the pronoun is not specified (e.g., I don’t know who did it, but she saw him).
Rules:
'Him' is always singular. It can be used to refer to a person or an object. Additionally, it can be used to refer to someone without specifying their gender.
Examples:
1. John won’t like it if you invite him.
2. Everyone watched him as he walked onto the stage.
3. Did she talk to him this morning?
Tips:
The word 'him' is always used referring to other specified noun (e.g., 'the man'). Additionally, it should be noted that 'him' is not necessarily used as a substitute for 'he/him/his'; 'him' can refer to persons and objects. Common mistakes include using 'him' to refer to a group of people (e.g., 'They all went to the store, and he came back with him.'); 'him' should only be used to refer to a single person or object.
