'It's him' or 'It's he' ??? I have seen sometimes they use 'it's him' and sometimes it's he'. What situations are they used in and do they differ? please give as more examples as you can. thanks!

If you are answering a question, the answer would be: 'It's him.' 'which man is your neighbour?' 'It's him.' (Pointing). Sometimes someone might exclaim; 'It's him!,' when they see a person. There is an implied question, 'who is that?' 'It;s he....' is always the start of a statement: 'It's he who will pay for the tickets.' He is the subject, 'him' is the object.

"It is he" is correct. Turn it around and see what sounds right..."he is it - it is he". We would not say "him is it", so don't say "it is him" When you answer the phone and someone asks for you, you say, "This is he"...or "it is I".

The strictly correct English only knows "it is he". The nominative case pronoun is called for, not the objective case. In the vernacular, you will often hear "it is him", but the grammar is simply not correct.

Can it's he be used at end of a conversation?
