I'm aware that when the pronoun is also the object of a sentence we use these: me instead of I, them instead of they and so on.



But when I say:




He is a teacher, and her?




Why do I say her instead of she if in this case I cannot identify a direct object.



Also when answering, would I say




Her, she is also a teacher.




or




She, she is also a teacher.




I'm really confused
