Personal pronouns have subject and object forms. The subject forms are: I, we, he, she, it, you and they.
The object forms are: me, us, him, her, it, you and them.
Subject forms (nominative case) are used when the pronoun is the subject of the verb.
Object forms (objective case) are used when the pronoun is the object of the verb.
Note that the pronouns it and you have the same form in the nominative and the objective case.
