+====== Personal Pronoun in the Accusative Case ======
+For the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_pronoun|Personal pronoun]] (first, second or third person references), the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusative_case|Accusative case]] deals with a person (or object) which is the recipient of an action:
+> For example, "they" in English is nominative; "them" is accusative. The sentence "They like them" shows the nominative case and accusative case working in conjunction using the same base word. The syntactic functions of the accusative consist of designating the immediate object of an action, the intended result, the goal of a motion, and the extent of an action.
+In  Romanian, the Accusative is made up of a preposition, and a pronoun (which changes for first and second from the nominative)
+===== Prepositions =====
+The accusative Case is used mostly with the prepositions:
+  * **Cu**: With, By
+  * **La**: To, At, On, With
+  * **Spre**: To
+  * **Pentru**: For
+  * **De la**: From
+  * **Despre**: About
+  * **De către**: By
+===== pronoun =====
+The prepositions go before the accusative pronoun:
+^  English Pronoun  ^  Personal Pronoun (nominative) ^  Accusative Pronoun  ^
+|  me               |  Eu                            |  **mine**            |
+|  you              |  Tu                            |  **tine**            |
+|  him/her          |  El / Ea                       |  el/ea               |
+|  us               |  Noi                           |  noi                 |
+|  you              |  Voi                           |  voi                 |
+|  them             |  Ei / Ele                      |  ei / ele            |
+===== Questions Used with Accusative =====
+To as whom is the object of something (to accuse someone), you add cine after the preposition, omitting the pronoun:
+  * **Spre cine?** To whom
+====== Pronouns in the Accusative Case ======
+When dealing with a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoun|Pronoun]] (a word that substitutes for a noun or noun phrase) in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusative_case|Accusative case]] things change.
+The pattern is:
+  - Subject (noun or pronoun)
+  - Pronoun phrase (in the form):
+     - Simple Form
+     - Verb (matching form)
+     - Emphasis (optional to add extra clarity/stress)
+===== Pronoun phrases =====
+Note: The Emphasis follows the same pattern as the Accusative Pronoun for the "Personal Pronoun in the Accusative Case" (above).
+^ English  ^  Simple Form  ^  verb  ^ Emphasis        ^
+| me       |  Mă           |  verb  | **pe** **mine** |
+| you      |  Te           |  verb  | **pe** **tine** |
+| him/her  |  Îl / O       |  verb  | **pe** el/ea    |
+| us       |  Ne           |  verb  | **pe** noi      |
+| you      |  Vă           |  verb  | **pe** voi      |
+| them     |  Îl / Le      |  verb  | **pe** ei / ele |
+Examples:
+  * Te întreb: I ask you
+  * Eu te întreb: I ask you
+  * Eu te întreb pe tine: I ask you (I am asking you!)
