In English
An oblique/objective case appears in the English personal pronouns; these forms are often called object pronouns. One can observe how the first person pronoun me serves a variety of grammatical functions:
- in an accusative role for a direct object:
-
- She bit me!
- in a dative role for an indirect object:
-
- Give me the rubber hose!
- as the object of a preposition:
-
- Stop spitting on me!
- and as a disjunctive topic marker:
-
- Me, I like French.
- I like him. —Hey, me too.
- with a copula:
-
- Who is it? —It's me.
- with a conjunction (informal/deprecated):
-
- Me and him are going to the store.
- in a genitive case role (dialectical):
-
- That's me tractor you's stealin'.
The pronoun me is not inflected differently in any of these uses; it is used for all grammatical relationships except the genitive case of possession (in standard English) and a non-disjunctive nominative case as the subject.

“What else has been English news for so long a season? What else, of late years, has been England to us,—to us who read books, we mean?...

It is the best apology for all the bustle and the sin of commerce, that it has made us acquainted with the thoughts of this man.”

“The English are polite by telling lies. The Americans are polite by telling the truth.”
