Open the door

please

In English, pronouns change when they change functions.

The word “I” is used as Subject.
When “I” is used as Object, it changes into “me”.

For example:
I want ice cream.
The teacher teaches me.

Subject Object
I me
you you
he him

Help me please
Please help her
Could you help him please?
