Personal de ALULA, Actualizado en August 31, 2023

  • Pronouns take the place of a noun in a sentence.
  • Subject pronouns include: I, you, he, she, it, we, they and are used when the pronoun is the one doing the action.
  • Object pronouns include: me, you, him, her, it, us, them and are used when the pronoun is receiving the action.

When learning English, it's important to know the difference between subject pronouns and object pronouns.

What is a Pronoun?

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Pronouns can be a subject pronoun or an object pronoun.

A subject pronoun can be: I, you, he, she , it, we, they.

What are Object Pronouns?

Object pronouns are the object of a sentence. They can be me, you, him, her, it, us, and them. An object pronoun receives the action.

For example, in "I love _______", ________ is the object. We have to say, "I love him" or "I love her", NOT "I love he" or "I love she".
