I don't understand your question. As a teacher of English, you know how we use these words, so what is the problem?

What's your question exactly? Perhaps you have a problem with this:

Mr. Jackson: I asked Mary to buy the tickets?
Mrs. Jackson: why she (or her??) and not Robert?

Am I right or ... ??

By the way, welcome board corcove!
