2. Who do you text every day?
3. Who knows your secrets?

Grammar rule

me, him, her, them

Before the verb	I	you	he	she	it	we	they
After a verb, or after for, with, to, at	me	you	him	her	it	us	them

• after a verb: My parents miss us. I like this game: I play it every weekend.
• after for, with, to, at: This coffee is for you! Walk with us! Look at them!

Watch out

• I or me? I before the verb, me after it: I help my dad. My dad helps me. (not My dad helps I)
• she or her? Rowan loves her. (not Rowan loves she)
• them for things too: I love these sneakers. I wear them every day. (not I wear it)
• her has two jobs: her phone (whose phone?) and call her (after a verb).
• you and it are the same before and after the verb.

In fast speech, him, her and them are weak: tell him → "TELL-im", buy them → "BUY-em", and call her sounds just like the word caller.
