Choose between subject and object pronouns

key notes :

Definition of Pronouns:

• A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. There are different types of pronouns, including subject and object pronouns.

Subject Pronouns:

• Subject pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence.
• Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
• These pronouns perform the action of the verb in the sentence.
• Example: “She runs fast.”

Object Pronouns:

• Object pronouns are used as the object of a verb or preposition.
• Examples: me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
• These pronouns receive the action of the verb.
• Example: “The teacher gave him a book.”

How to Choose Between Subject and Object Pronouns:

• If the pronoun is performing the action, use a subject pronoun.
  • Example: “He plays soccer.”
• If the pronoun is receiving the action, use an object pronoun.
  • Example: “The coach praised him.”

Pronouns in Compound Subjects or Objects:

• When combining pronouns with other nouns in a sentence, choose the correct form for each part.
• Subject example: “She and her brother are playing.”
• Object example: “The gift was for him and his sister.”

Pronouns with Prepositions:

• After prepositions like to, for, with, and at, use object pronouns.
• Example: “She is sitting next to me.”

Avoid Common Mistakes:

Do not use subject pronouns where object pronouns should be used.

• Incorrect: “She gave the book to I.”
• Correct: “She gave the book to me.”
