The accusative case of personal pronouns is as follows:

Nominative: ego (I) > Accusative: mē (me)

Nominative: tū (you sg.) > Accusative: tē (you)

mē: easy enough to recognise; if you're a French speaker you will immediately spot tē (Fr. te)

Nominative: is (he) > Accusative: eum (him); the same ending as 2nd declension masculine nouns

Nominative: ea (she) > Accusative: eam (her); the same ending as 1st declension feminine nouns (her)

Nominative: id (it) > Accusative: id (it); neuter nouns do not change in the accusative and neither do the pronouns

Nominative: nōs (we) > Accusative: nōs (us) i.e. exactly the same (similarly Fr. nous; no change)

Nominative: vōs (you pl.) > Accusative: vōs (you pl.) exactly the same (similarly Fr. vous; no change)

The third person plural pronouns match the endings of the nouns:

Nominative: eī (they [masc.]) > Accusative: eōs (them [masc.])

Nominative: eae (they [fem.] > Accusative: eās (them [fem.])

Nominative: ea (they [neut.]) > Accusative: ea (them [neut.]); the same rule consistently applies i.e. there is no change in the neuter nominative and accusative
