Dear teachers,
In one of the episodes in Downtown Abbey, Lord Grantham says, "Well done him. I am impressed." https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/08de7b92-f ... 8362d5ad21
I suppose it is Britishism. Could someone please explain the grammar of the sentence (=Well done him)?
I have heard, "Well done, John" or "Well done, everyone", with a comma between the adjective and a noun or a pronoun that follows it. But not, "well done him".
Well done him
