§Structures (grammar patterns) 4
verb + him (object)
Him is the object form of he; it follows a verb or a preposition, never the subject position of a clause.
'Him', 'he' का object रूप है; यह verb या preposition के बाद आता है, clause के subject की जगह नहीं।
- Radhika asked him a question.
- I gave the book to him.
preposition + him
After a preposition such as with, for, to, from or about, always use him, not he.
With, for, to, from या about जैसे preposition के बाद हमेशा 'him' आता है, 'he' नहीं।
- Everyone except him passed the test.
- There is a letter for him.
It is him / It's him (informal)
In everyday speech, people say It's him after be; in very formal writing, It is he is used, but it sounds old-fashioned.
रोज़मर्रा की बोलचाल में be के बाद 'It's him' कहा जाता है; बहुत औपचारिक लेखन में 'It is he' आता है, पर यह पुराना लगता है।
- Who is at the door? It's him.
- That's him in the blue shirt.
him + -ing (his or him before gerund)
Before a gerund in informal English, him is common; formal English prefers his.
Informal English में gerund से पहले 'him' आम है; formal English में 'his' पसंद किया जाता है।
- I don't mind him coming late.
- We were surprised at his coming so early.

!Common mistakes 3
✗ Between you and I, he will not come.
✓ Between you and me, he will not come.
After the preposition between, use the object form me, and the same applies to him.
Preposition 'between' के बाद object रूप आता है, जैसे me और him।
✗ Me and him went to the library.
✓ He and I went to the library.
A compound subject needs subject pronouns: he and I.
Compound subject में subject pronouns आते हैं: he and I।
✗ The teacher told to him to sit down.
✓ The teacher told him to sit down.
Tell takes the person directly as its object, without to.
'Tell' के बाद व्यक्ति सीधे object के रूप में आता है, 'to' के बिना।
?Which word?

Homophone: him और hymn (धार्मिक गीत, भजन) दोनों /hɪm/ हैं।
§Grammar and usage
Him is the object form of he ('I know him', not 'I know he'); after prepositions use him ('with him', 'for him'); before a gerund, formal English prefers the possessive ('I don't mind his coming late'), though 'him coming late' is common in speech.
अक्सर पूछा जाता है: him, he का object रूप है ('I know him', 'I know he' नहीं); prepositions के बाद him प्रयुक्त करें ('with him', 'for him'); gerund से पहले औपचारिक English possessive पसंद करती है ('I don't mind his coming late'), यद्यपि बोलचाल में 'him coming late' आम है।
