Object Pronouns
- 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".
Examples:
-
WRONG: My mother loves I.
-
My mother loves me.
Subject ("My mother") - verb ("loves") - object (object pronoun, "me")
-
WRONG: He talks to she.
-
He talks to her.
Subject ("He") - verb ("talks") - preposition ("to") - object (object pronoun, "her")
Another example:
Examples:
-
She plants a flower.
"She" is a subject pronoun.
-
The flower plants her.
"her" is an object pronoun.
