Participles Preposition of direct object את Personal and demonstrative pronouns

If a direct object for a verb is definite (either having a definite article or being a proper name) then before the object the preposition את is added. If the object is indefinite, there should be no את.

This preposition also may mean "with" (a synonym of the preposition עם).

Also a noun with a pronoun suffix (see below) is definite (but without an article).
