'He' is used as the subject (doing the action), while 'him' is used as the object (receiving the action).
'His' shows possession, while 'him' is the object form of the pronoun.
Notas de uso
Use 'him' whenever the male person is the object of a verb or follows a preposition like 'to', 'with', 'for', or 'at'. Never use 'him' as the subject of a sentence.
Erros comuns
