* Sam loves she.
Why is this sentence wrong?

We use "she" for subjects, "her" for objects.

Direct object (He loves her.)
Indirect object (Give her the book.)
Object of a preposition (Go with her.)

                   Possessive
Subject Object adjective pronoun

  you    you     your     yours

  he     him     his       his
  she    her     her       hers
