1. I think that he is honest.

3. I think him honest.
Q1) Each of the above sentenses is gramatically right ?
Q2) If any of them is not grammatically correct, why not ?
Q3) Each of the sentenses should be used in a diffetent situation ?

I think him honest, isn't a real sentence. It doesn't make sense you know ? it
basically sounds like there is something missing in the word order

1 is used when you want to say your opinion about someone else, but the second is a statement wich would probably be the answer of a question.
- Korean
- English (US)
- English (UK)
All three of these mean the same thing.
"I think that he is honest" is right. Or you can say "I think he is honest," or "I think he's honest."
"I think him to be honest" sounds wrong to me. I don't know why, but I think it's wrong.
"I think him honest" sounds unnatural. You could say "I think him an honest man," but it would be more natural to say "I think (that) he's an honest man."

I think him to be honest isn't wrong, if you put the comma in between 'him' & 'to'

@royaiiee Yes, but then it has a completely different meaning, and it only makes sense in context.

@kook6959kook Yes, they mean the same thing, but "I've (I have) injured my leg" sounds more natural.
