Remember that 'He' starts the action, and 'hiM' ends the action, just like the 'm' at the end of 'hiM' stands for the 'Man' who is the object.
Overview
'Him' is the objective case of the third-person singular masculine pronoun 'he'. While 'he' is used as the subject of a sentence (the doer of the action), 'him' is used when the male is the receiver of the action or the object of a preposition. 2) Usage Patterns: In English, word order is critical. Because 'him' is an object pronoun, it typically follows the verb or the preposition. For example, in 'I saw him,' 'saw' is the verb and 'him' is the object being seen. In 'Give the book to him,' 'to' is the preposition, and 'him' is the target of the preposition. 3) Common Contexts: It is used extensively in daily conversation, storytelling, and professional communication whenever a male subject is the focus of an action. It is gender-specific, meaning it is used exclusively for males, distinguishing it from 'her' (female) and 'it' (inanimate objects or animals). 4) Similar Words Comparison: 'He' is the subject form (e.g., 'He likes coffee'), whereas 'him' is the object form (e.g., 'I like him'). 'His' is the possessive form, indicating ownership (e.g., 'That is his car'). Understanding the difference between these three forms is essential for grammatical accuracy in English.
इस्तेमाल की जानकारी

सामान्य गलतियाँ
A common mistake is using 'him' as the subject of a sentence, such as 'Him went home.' Another error is using 'he' when an object is required, such as 'I saw he.' Always verify if the pronoun is performing the action or receiving it.
