Grammar
Object pronouns
There is an object pronoun for every subject pronoun:

Subject pronouns Object pronouns

I me
you you
she her
he him
it it
we us
they them

In statements, subject pronouns usually come before the verb:

I'm a singer.
He's not a good singer.
They're local guys.

In statements, object pronouns usually come after the verb:

I'm a singer. That's me on the CD.

He's not a good singer. I don't like him.
They're local guys. Do you like them?

Also use object pronouns after prepositions:

We play in a band. Come listen to us.

Everybody, nobody
Everybody and everyone mean "all the people":

Everybody / everyone is here today. (= All the students are here today.)

Nobody and no one mean "no people":

Nobody / no one is here today. (= There are no students here today.)

When everybody, everyone, nobody, or no one is the subject, use the same verb form as after
he, she, and it:

Everybody says that.

Everyone likes pop.

Nobody is a jazz fan.

No one listens to country.
