There are four cases in German, Nominativ (wer oder was?), Genitiv (Wessen?), Dativ (wem oder was?) and Akkusativ (wen oder was?). Ihm is the Dativ case, you can see that at the m. Ihn however is akkusativ.
Ich habe ihm ein Blatt Papier geliehen. (I lent him a piece of paper)
Habt ihr ihn gesehen? (Did you see him?)
- German
ihm: Dativ
ihn: Akkusativ
these are declination rules in a sentence ^^
"hast du ihm die Cola gegeben?"
"weißt du was ihn beschäftigt?"
- German
Sag es ihm. (to him)
Wer hat ihm die Cola gegeben? (to him)
Magst du ihm das geben? (to him)
Ich mag ihm das nicht zeigen. (to him)
Ruf ihn an. (him)
Ich mag ihn. (him)
Wie findest du ihn? (him)
Ich liebe ihn. (him)
Möchtest du ihn nicht fragen? (him)
It might not always work that way but for most of the time this should help. That‘s the idea behind the grammar.
