Perhaps you're talking about Subject Raising, like him in They expect him to take responsibility for it or there in There seems to be a problem? | |

(The example I always think of is "search your feelings, you know it to be true", but that's not a great example because "it" doesn't show a difference between subject and object case.) | |
