A noun or pronoun is in the objective case when it is used as a direct
object, an indirect object, or an object.
A noun which is directly affected by the action of a verb is put into
the objective case. In English we call this noun the "direct object"
which is a little more descriptive of its function. It's the direct object
of some action.
- Robert fixed the car.
In the example above, the "car" is in the objective case because
it's the direct object of Robert's action of fixing.
